26,084 | Sprintec | birth control | "I never been on birth control until sprintec. I started the Sunday after my period and it made it heavier. Then got it again the placebo week and after that got my period for two weeks every two weeks! This last month it last nearly 3 weeks. I starting my period only a week and a half into this new pack and I just quit! Completely regret birth control in general. Only good things it did was clear my skin and make my boobs slightly bigger but not worth it at all. My mood swings were out of control and I completely lost my appetite so I lost weight. I miss eating and normal periods so I am happy to be done with you sprintec" | 3 | August 24, 2017 | 3 | 125 |
8,251 | Zolpidem | insomnia | "It works and it's ability hasn't diminished with use or time. I can get to sleep every single time I take this drug and it always only takes 2 pills. That is a lot more than I can say for any sleep drug I've ever taken. The downside is that if I don't go to sleep as soon as I feel it kick in, I will do some very, very strange things that I can only slightly remember if I remember at all." | 8 | April 20, 2016 | 25 | 83 |
26,918 | Insulin degludec | diabetes, type 2 | "At first I saw little effect, until I reached 65 units, It was not a remarkable change 10 pts on my sugar reading. But I got a weird laryngitis and a persistent cough with throat phlegm that went from Christmas until mid March when I finally figured out it was caused by Tresiba. Stopping the inject let the symptoms go away. Very uncomfortable side effects." | 2 | March 8, 2017 | 11 | 65 |
179,827 | Adapalene / benzoyl peroxide | acne | "This summer I decided that I was finally going to begin acne treatment for my face. Surprisingly, being in the sun helped a lot and then my doctor recommended epiduo. I was excited to finally have clear skin. Then I tried it out for two weeks. I noticed my skin getting progressively worse. Then after a while, I began feeling an odd burning sensation. The next morning I woke up to blotchy, painful, burning skin. Basically nothing could soothe it and I started school later that week. The burning was terrible and makeup couldn't cover it. I've tried various moisturizers but none helped. I was stuck with skin that was a lot worse than before I started, and a blotchy, burning, bright red spotty face. I don't recommend trying this product." | 1 | August 27, 2015 | 6 | 131 |
29,601 | Topiramate | obesity | "I am extremely obese. My starting weight when I started taking Topamax was 289.0 lbs. I weighed myself every few days. I started for one week taking 25 mg in the morning and 25 mg in the evening. Now I take 50mg in the morning and 50 in the evening. Im also eating right veggies and fruits and snacks. This medication is making me lose at least 13 lbs since Jan. 5, 15 and today I'm 276.0 and its Jan. 19, 2015. in that short amount of time that's a good amount of weight to drop. So thank you Topamax!" | 10 | January 19, 2015 | 164 | 100 |
65,868 | Propranolol | anxiety | "After years of having occasional anxiety and taking different medications the fear of having to give a speech in nursing school finally drove me to ask my doctor if I could try propranolol. Without making this too long of an essay, it changed my life and I probably only take it a couple times a month now, if that. Just knowing it is there, and trusting that it works, in itself helps. It took away all of the symptoms that made me feel like I had no control over my body or that my body was betraying me during times of panic or even less anxiety. This is the miracle medication for somebody who does not want to take medications on a regular basis. This is a medication that takes away feelings that you don't want." | 10 | October 19, 2015 | 51 | 136 |
63,279 | Epiduo | acne | "This is only my 3rd week on the cream. Based on the other reviews, I am almost out of the "storming phase". I have seen an overall improvement and only got a few days of bad break outs. Initially I stopped wearing makeup because I wanted to gel to soak in. I tried wearing makeup yesterday and it stung so bad I had to take it off. My skin has gotten very dry and this morning, for the first time since using this product, I'm seeing the dry patches. I used the Cetephail daily moisturizer that everyone was recommending, it stung initially but visually took all flakes away!! I am very hopeful and am already noticing a decline in acne! I will write again in another few weeks!" | 9 | September 5, 2017 | 7 | 128 |
206,208 | Eflornithine | hirsutism | "I have suffered with corse chin and upper lip hair for such a long time causing me to feel embarrassed and just not good about myself. I would pluck on a daily basis making my skin blotchy and sore. I took the plunge after months of research on Vaniqa and bought the cream. I been using twice a day for 6 weeks now and I'm thrilled with the results. Smooth skin hardly and hairs. So pleased. Ladies don't suffer like I did get this product. It's the best ever" | 10 | March 30, 2016 | 69 | 89 |
190,686 | Zetia | 17</span> users found this comment helpful. | "Was notified recently that the expensive drug Zetia now has a generic version called Ezetimibe however Zetia is a tier 3 drug and Ezetimibe is a tier 4 drug which means I will be paying even more than before since my plan will no longer carry Zetia after June 1,2017. Unbelievable!!" | 5 | March 25, 2017 | 17 | 51 |
98,091 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I have had this implant for seven months now and I have not had a single full period which is really awesome. I spot every few months or so. I feel spoiled.
The only negative thing is a possibly weight gain but I'm not sure if that's the nexplanon or just recovery from anorexia." | 9 | August 13, 2015 | 4 | 54 |
158,686 | Methylphenidate | adhd | "Some of these experiences are quite alarming! I never experienced the really harsh side effects such as depression, suicidal thoughts and any other bad side effects. I've been taking Concerta ever since I was 8. I was taken off of Concerta when I was 21 and I actually went down hill after that. I lost a lot of my friends and I can't control my thoughts, day dreams and mood swings and my performance at my job declined rapidly to the point where I almost lost it. I am 23 now and just got back on Concerta and am super happy with how it has organized my mind! ." | 10 | February 7, 2012 | 43 | 109 |
5,319 | Cryselle | birth control | "Like another user below, I was also on Lo-Ogestral since I was 17 for cramps and to regulate my period. I was getting it twice a month and it was so painful. About 3 years ago my local CVS started carrying only the generic version of it which is Cryselle. I'm now 24 and have had great experiences with both. My period is 3-4 days long with no cramps...if it didn't come the same day every month I couldn't even tell when its coming. My skin has never been better. I honestly had no idea people has such depression and mood swings from this pill. I've never felt any of that. I also lost about 20 pounds while taking cryselle, not from the pill itself but I worked out and ate healthy. So no weight gain." | 10 | December 8, 2015 | 8 | 136 |
14,882 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I have PCOS and I struggled a lot with weight. Since taking the pill I've lost at least 15 pounds within the 3 months of taking it. However, the acne is the worst painful ones I've ever experienced. Large multiple deep cystic acne. I guess I'll deal since the weight loss is a positive..." | 4 | August 26, 2017 | 3 | 54 |
72,998 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | endometriosis | "I have been on this for almost two years and I am so glad that I am on it! I gained zero weight (I actually lost weight), I am not moody, my skin is smooth and clear, the periods are SO much better! I only get a little bit of a flow and the cramps are minimal. I actually barely get a period anymore, but my GYN said it was normal." | 10 | March 23, 2015 | 12 | 71 |
67,781 | Plan B | emergency contraception | "So the condom broke and we didn't know until too late. Ran to the pharmacy to buy plan b for $50, and took it 2-3 hours after the condom broke. This was right after my fertile period, like only a day after, so there was a chance that I could have ovulated late and gotten pregnant. My period was a day or so late, most likely due to the insane stress I put myself through. First day of my period started normal, but for whatever reason all bleeding and cramps went away after around 4pm. This happened for all 4 days of my period, and I found it very odd. The cramps that I did have were excruciating, however. Today, a week or so later, I took a test- 100000% negative!! Plan b works!" | 10 | November 29, 2016 | 3 | 134 |
185,393 | Saxenda | weight loss | "I started my injections on the 22nd of July, 2017. I am at the .06%
I give the injections daily at the same time in my upper left or right thigh. No adverse reactions from injection location or medication to date.
The first week I lost 5lbs. I will weigh in tomorrow for the second week.
To date my appetite has been diminished.
I feel fuller quicker. I have more energy and it is not reacting adversely with my other medications.
I will say however, I am concerned about the long term effects, but then I must admit there is a trade off with being obese as well and the long term side effects.
So which is better? Loose the weight through an artificial means versus continuing to remain obese?" | 10 | August 5, 2017 | 7 | 130 |
41,867 | Clonidine | adhd | "My son was 2 when prescribed Clonidine for his extreme insomnia and ADHD. I was terrified at first. His behavior was so scary and so was the thought of giving my 2 and now 3 year old a blood pressure medication. My son has turned three and is still on the medicine about .2 per day. I have for the first time been able to enjoy my son, sit with him, hold him, laugh with him. He has advanced in speech so much his speech therapy has stopped. He was finally able to relax for a moment to hear us. In turn, we are now able to hear him, experience his emotions and explore his thoughts. I have my child back." | 10 | September 4, 2016 | 67 | 121 |
27,285 | Imitrex | migraine | "Works super fast and well. Gets rid of my migraines fast when I take with a Motrin 800, BUT......it makes me sweat buckets. I took it at work before my shift and 2 hours later my migraine was gone but I had sweated through 2 shirts and was visibly dripping. It was pretty bad. It does it every time I take it so I try not to use it if I can help it." | 7 | November 16, 2013 | 18 | 74 |
187,218 | Sodium oxybate | narcolepsy | "I have been diagnosed with narcolepsy, cataplexy, and fibromyalgia. I was on Provigil and Adderall, and still falling asleep. Doc started me on 2.5 mg twice a night. I was sleeping. At night only! I am on 3.0 mg now, and still taking the Adderall during the day. I am not falling asleep at work, and my cataplexy and hallucinations are almost nonexistent! I still get tired pretty early on in the evening, but I was starting to worry about my ability to continue working. It also seems to be helping with the pain. I get nauseous sometimes during the day, but have found that it's because I need to drink some water or eat something. I feel like the old me again. I just hope the insurance doesn't decide not to cover it." | 10 | February 16, 2015 | 32 | 134 |
47,908 | Adapalene | acne | "When I moved to a place with a really hot climate,I started having horrible acne.I never had any issues with my skin before and i was devastated, I was 28 and having skin problems .I tried every facial wash,creams and scrubs. Nothing worked. Finally decided to see a derma after 2 yrs of fighting acne. He prescribed clindamycin and Differin. First weeks of using,my skin dried so badly. It was sore and sensitive esp around the eye area. Gradually though, my face cleared. It also helped slowly lighten the dark spots from healed acne.I didn't have any of those initial breakouts but the change was really very gradual. It does work. Just be patient. I'm now happy with my skin. Tip:after washing,MOISTURIZE! Then apply differin. Goodluck :-)" | 9 | April 10, 2015 | 63 | 127 |
177,310 | Duloxetine | anxiety | "By the third dose, I had experienced chest tightness, dry mouth, dilated pupils, dizziness and a loss of emotions. The most interference in my life was the dizziness. I did not want to drive the 25 miles to work and back due to feeling dizzy. The side effect that bothered me the most was the lack of feeling emotions. I felt very detached from any emotion and was unable to cry, laugh or feel love. I discontinued the drug after the third dose. This was not the way I wanted to feel while dealing with moderate anxiety. I'll look for herbal remedies and remain in therapist-guided talk therapy. I don't want to be a dizzy emotional zombie. I am also scared to death, from what I've read, to discontinue this drug due to horrendous bad side effects." | 1 | January 3, 2017 | 24 | 137 |
133,275 | Tri-Sprintec | birth control | "I would recommend overall. During the first month it killed my libido and made me grow two cup sizes, but by the second month my libido was back. No mood swings unlike some other pills. I gained 6 pounds but I think it was water. A year in, the only residual side effect is the big breasts, and most importantly, I'm not pregnant." | 9 | July 2, 2012 | 5 | 63 |
190,466 | Fostex Medicated | acne | "This is the greatest acne soap on the market. I had an extreme case of acne when I was in high school. After using Fostex for 2 weeks my skin was as clear as. " | 10 | January 11, 2013 | 3 | 35 |
88,030 | Clindamycin | bacterial infection | "I am currently taking 300 MG of Clindamycin 3 times daily with food. I take it every 5 hours. I am on day 5 out of 10 and currently have not experienced any side effects at all. However, I am also taking a great probiotic twice daily with food as well, away from the Clindamycin. I take the first probiotic in between dose 1 and 2, and the second between dose 2 and 3. From other reviews, I highly recommend a good probiotic. As well as a post probiotic to get your body's flora back up. I am taking Clindamycin for an oral viral/bacterial infection I've had going on for months. So far I have already seen improvement and I am only halfway through my dose. Also, be sure to always take it with food and drink plenty of water." | 8 | September 22, 2015 | 34 | 140 |
179,441 | Olanzapine | bipolar disorde | "I was diagnosed as Bipolar disorder at the age of 49. I was immediately put on Zyprexa and essentially, the next four years are a blur to me. To say I felt like a zombie is a gross understatement. I changed my Doctor and insisted he take me off the drug which he did. I am now taking 'plain old lithium' and have been doing well for the past five years. I understand that everyone doesn't have the same experience with Zyprexa that I had, but people should be aware that there are long-proven alternatives. I only wish that my Doctor had considered them first." | 1 | June 30, 2010 | 27 | 105 |
5,305 | Cryselle | birth control | "Bad: I took it for about a year, then it gave me bad acne that automatically cleared away when I took a 2 week break from it, and automatically came back when I got back on it. It has also make my hair so dry, frail and frizzy regardless of how good I take care of it. My blood pressure, anxiety and mood swings also fluctuated when I was on and off this pill.
Good: makes my periods ultra light, almost never cramp. Haven't gotten pregnant.
Overall I would not recommend it if you can be on something else." | 2 | February 25, 2016 | 5 | 99 |
230,193 | Meloxicam | inflammatory conditions | "Was prescribed Meloxicam for Siatica and other back issues, stayed on it as prescribed and followed all instructions as described. After about 2 years of taking I had a bad stomach ache and had to hold off from going to the ball game, Went to the rest room prior to going and there was a minor amount of blood in my stool. At the hospital I started getting worse quick, they gave me a small bowl and I said this isn't going to do it, they gave me a larger one and I said I'm going to get sick now and off we went .....flying towards a room, but didn't make it. I threw up blood and my bowels let go with nothing but blood, I was bleeding out, I lost 28 units that night. Good thing I was close to the hospital and or in it. Doc says I had 1 min to live..." | 7 | January 12, 2017 | 26 | 155 |
147,598 | Aviane | birth control | "I took Alesse for a couple of years and liked it so well that I stopped taking oral contraceptives entirely when it went off the market. But for the sake of convenience I wanted to start again, and I assumed that inexpensive Aviane, the generic for Alesse, would be the same. Either it isn't or my body chemistry has changed. I've felt some occasional mood swings, but worse, my periods last for at least a week, and mid-cycle, my breasts are so tender and sore that I can't stand to go running. I think it's time to switch." | 3 | January 16, 2010 | 4 | 98 |
39,778 | Contrave | obesity | "I have been taking contrave for almost 1 month. It will be a month on the 7Th. I starting taking contrave to help aid in my weight loss. I started working out and eating right. I was something to help boost my weight loss. Prior to starting contrave I weighed 226.5 lbs. After almost a month I now weigh 218.2 lbs. I have lost a total of 8.3 lbs. I did have some side effects. Make sure to drink a full glass of water when you take it. wait until after the water to drink you coffee. I have found that helps. always drink and full glass of water when you take it. I also only need one cup of coffee a day now. I make healthy food choices but I do not eat very much now. I love it and will refill. also fiber helps with the constipation." | 10 | December 6, 2015 | 15 | 149 |
81,305 | Yaz | menstrual disorders | "I have been on Yaz for about 4 months now. I started taking it to regulate my periods, as they were very heavy and irregular. Yaz helped 100% with that issue. Now I know when my period will arrive and it only lasts about 4 days. Yaz has also cleared up my acne. Before taking it I had fairly severe acne (for a 36 year old) and since taking Yaz I don't have severe breakouts, just one or two pimples here and there. If I had to list my negative experiences since taking Yaz it would be my irritability. Small things annoy me...like my husband chewing his cereal. It's not bad enough that I go into a rage or anything, but it can be annoying. Also, the outside edges of my breasts are sore. Feels like when I was nursing! So far, a positive experience" | 8 | August 17, 2015 | 8 | 145 |
18,931 | Chlordiazepoxide | alcohol withdrawal | "I've detoxed with librium (now) 5 times. Currently into my 3rd day with librium. The first couple times I detoxed with the stuff it was amazing. Just three 25MG pills a day to ward off withdrawals from 3 pints of vodka a day 3 month long benders. But I will warn you of this.....you build a tolerance to librium. This time I needed more 25MG pills in just the first 24 hrs. Then 4 on day two and now I'm down to 3 (will wean off over the next few days). Stuff is still amazing but don't be an idiot like me and bounce between booze (to the point of almost death) and then benzo's; just to drink booze again." | 10 | March 18, 2017 | 30 | 120 |
24,070 | Tretinoin | acne | "By far the most helpful medication for my acne scarring. I use it at night and use aczone during the day and they do wonders. I have cystic acne, so to have tackled these kinds of scars needed some serious patience and care. I recommend this to anyone who struggles with this type of acne. I know how hard it is to get rid of those big red inflamed scars, and this definitely does the trick. You just need a lot of patience because it does take some time but you will see a difference within 1-2 weeks." | 10 | June 6, 2016 | 2 | 98 |
179,596 | Adapalene / benzoyl peroxide | acne | "My 14 year old son was prescribed epiduo for his moderate acne about 3 months ago. I myself am 36 and have suffered from acne my whole life (since the 5th grade!!) anyways, I decided to try it with him and I'm so glad I did. At first it made both of our skin break out and was red, itchy, peeling and irritated. So we started using every other night instead (also, only use at night and AVOID EYE AREA!!) After about 2-3 weeks of using epiduo I noticed a dramatic improvement in both of our skin. Now my son may have a few tiny little pimples here or there but nothing like it was before and I don't have any at all! Not only am I pimple free but my melasma/dark spots are almost completely gone!! I highly recommend!!" | 10 | February 21, 2017 | 7 | 140 |
141,396 | Escitalopram | generalized anxiety disorde | "Really helps to stabilize the constant anxiety I've experienced before starting this medicine. I've noticed that the dose that works best for my generalized anxiety disorder is 20mg, but I've also gained 20lbs since starting this medicine despite being active. I'm curious to know what dosage of this medicine has worked for your condition and how you manage the weight gain on this pill." | 8 | August 19, 2014 | 43 | 64 |
142,294 | Levonorgestrel | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I’m 48, never had children but have uterine fibroids which were removed and very quickly returned. Because of the heavy bleeding new doctor recommended Mirena to hopefully reduce the heavy bleeding. Thought this was a great idea! No more ultra tampons and overnight pads as a back up. No such luck. Got Mirena inserted 6/14/17 and have been bleeding ever since. Thought this could not be real. Doctor sent me for ultrasound to be sure Mirena was still in my uterus...yep it’s there so I’ll have to put up with the bleeding. It is UNREAL. I’ve bleed for 5 months with maybe 2 weeks of no bleeding. This is awful, bleeding every day...day after day. The number of pads and tampons are becoming expensive. I’m seriously at my wits end." | 1 | November 10, 2017 | 2 | 130 |
64,867 | Sertraline | post traumatic stress disorde | "When I find I'm very angry it gives me time to pause and the ability to shake the bad mood I'd normally have afterwards. I rarely experience unjustified sadness, yet when something sad happens I still feel sad. I think it just gives me some breathing room to sort things out." | 8 | April 20, 2015 | 61 | 51 |
185,169 | Harvoni | hepatitis c | "Was diagnosed with hep c in 2002. Doctor says probably have had it for more than 40 years. Like many have no idea how disease was contracted. Have tried two previous treatments of interferon with no success. Started Harvoni 12 weeks ago, was undetectable after 4 weeks. Have suffered some aggravating side effects since my first week in Headaches,fatigue, brain fog and heart burn. Side effects subsided after three weeks but now have returned after 12 weeks. Got 12 more to go i'll make it through. Not near as bad as interferon. Thanks Gilead for the good work." | 10 | June 1, 2016 | 32 | 98 |
41,456 | Sofosbuvir | hepatitis c | "I started my hepatitis treatments on Nov 15th of this year.. I have had some bad side effects. Diarrhea, nauseous alot, muscle aches and headaches. I just found out that the Insurance company only paid for the first month of treatments. I don't know what's going to happen now because I no longer have insurance. But I would rather go thru the side effects than get no treatments at all" | 6 | December 14, 2015 | 5 | 70 |
6,050 | Minastrin 24 Fe | birth control | "When I got my period at 12 I was getting it 2 times a month for 7 days each. Literally half of my life I was on my period. Then I was on a pill that was good ( Tilia Fe) and got my period regularly for 5 days at a time. Then my doctor told me about this pill and that her entire staff used it because they either got their period for 2 days or not at all. I was sold!!! And I'm still sold after a solid year on it. NO weight gain, NO cramps, NO mood swings, and I get my period for 1-2 days max!!!!! It's a miracle pill for me- I'm so sad to read such negative reviews about minastrin 24;( it's funny how pills are so different for people)! YAZ made me completely insane- it is very expensive though at $54 - I would pay a million$ I LOVE IT!!!!!" | 10 | January 15, 2016 | 8 | 157 |
41,239 | Acetaminophen / oxycodone | pain | "I started using Percocet approximately nine months ago & for the first time in many years I was relatively pain free & could function again. I had no side effects, was alert and never groggy. My dosage was gradually increased from 5/325 to 10. (23 years ago I ruptured a disk at C4/C5 causing debilitating occipital headaches and neck pain. I now have chronic cervical & lumbar pain due to degenerative disk disease & other issues.) The only problem I found with Percocet was that it would work for about 1-2 hours and then the pain would return with four hours before my next dosage. Last week I was switched to 10 mg. Opana and once it got in my system, I can go for at least 4 hours relatively pain free. Still need a long lasting medication." | 8 | January 25, 2011 | 7 | 138 |
196,754 | Paroxetine | depression | "I rate Paxil as a 10. It worked almost immediately with me to relieve my symptoms and the only side effect is that it makes me sleepy/tired, which isn't a problem to me as I am retired (my doctor suggested that I can change the time that I take it, from morning to evening and I am considering doing that, especially if I decide to go back to work again)." | 10 | April 14, 2017 | 8 | 70 |
164,745 | Phentermine / topiramate | weight loss | "I started the combination of 1/2 Phentermine in the morning and Topiramate 50mg at bedtime on April 20, 2017, my weight was 203lbs I am 5'2 and I weighed myself yesterday April 29, 2017 I am 196lbs. Yes I have dry mouth. But It works, also go online to print the coupon it saves money! Good luck to you all." | 10 | April 30, 2017 | 11 | 60 |
220,746 | Loestrin 24 Fe | birth control | "I have been on Loestrin 24 for month and so far it has been a bad experience for me. I have been bleeding this whole month and have gained about 7lbs. I am very active and exercise every day but I'm still gaining weight, I'm naturally a thin person so its quite noticeable and it makes me very uncomfortable." | 3 | July 30, 2010 | 2 | 59 |
191,607 | Lisdexamfetamine | adhd | "I'm 17 and been on Vyvance for about two years. I had always had a really hard time paying attention in class and getting any kind of work done, so my mom took me to the Dr and he diagnosed me with severe ADD. He put me on Strattera and I was good on it, until they upped my dosage. I'm normally a really happy, easy going person, do not get mad easily AT ALL, but on the Strattera, I was moody and was having nightmares, couldn't sleep. So he put me on Ritalin. It was the same as the Strattera, moody, nightmares, and the added increased heart rate. So finally, the Dr said he was going to try Vyvanse. I was really scared because of the past experiences, but I tried it. I slept, felt good, and am able to focus!" | 10 | August 22, 2013 | 36 | 142 |
101,134 | Actos | diabetes, type 2 | "I have been taking actos since Nov and had great results at first and now it seems like it it doesn't work at all even after taking an additional pill with evening meals. Blood sugar readings are the same with or without it" | 2 | February 15, 2016 | 15 | 43 |
10,323 | Sotalol | atrial fibrillation | "Sotalol 80mg x2 stopped my atrial fibrillation (AF), but left my heart rate in the 40's and I had less stamina than when I was in AF. My EP decided on adding a pacemaker to keep my pulse at 60 or higher and I feel like I am 20 years younger. I am very active and my AF has not returned. The pacemaker records everything that happens to my heart and is read remotely by the EP every couple of months or so. There has been no incidents of AF, and very few PAC's or PVC's. Sotalol with a pacemaker has been a wonderful solution to my AF, and I would suggest people who are struggling with sotalol ask their doctor about a pacemaker to increase their pulse rate." | 10 | January 9, 2014 | 121 | 129 |
214,921 | Human papillomavirus vaccine | human papillomavirus prophylaxis | "I'm 18 years old and just got my first one today along with two other shots which were required for school. Hurt like hell compared to the other two. Maybe less than a minute after I started to feel dizzy, nauseous, vision blurred, had difficulty breathing, threw up... Nearly fainted, had to be brought to a bed via wheelchair. Probably the worst I have ever felt. Hours later, can barely move my arm without feeling pain, even though the other arm (which got two shots) feels fine.
I'm not going to say no one should get this - fainting is obviously better than cancer. I personally would not do it again, especially considering I do not plan to have sex later in life." | 3 | November 21, 2017 | 0 | 123 |
113,911 | Amlodipine | high blood pressure | "This pill is absolute POISON!!! I only took it for a week and a half and ended up in the emergency room! I had a fast heart beat and pulse, tight chest with pain, an extreme anxiety feeling, kidney pain, and my left arm was numb on and off and generally felt out of it and zombie like!! Before I got fear mongered into taking it I was COMPLETELY NORMAL!!!! I have been trying to get back to normal ever since the ER trip when I got off this poison pill! There is NO accountability for these drug companies!! Do not trust these doctors they are drug dealers for the pharmaceutical companies and they don't care what happens to you!!! Do NOT take this poison!!" | 1 | February 25, 2017 | 110 | 125 |
158,327 | Ziprasidone | schizophrenia | "Geodon is a great Medicine. It takes time to adjust too. Takes the false beliefs away, right away. As the months go by you will feel less depressed, more positive thinking, feel better about yourself. I found you have to go with the flow of adjustments to let the brain chemistry change. I'm happy my Doctor has found a Medicine that works. My body feels better too. Medicine takes time." | 7 | September 1, 2009 | 61 | 70 |
138,835 | Phentermine | obesity | "This product works, my biggest problem is sweets and it totally took the sweet craving away, especially within the first 2 months. I suggest taking it just before lunch, you will not want to eat for the rest of the day/evening, but when I took it before breakfast it didn't last until the evening. You should also exercise, but even if you don't you'll lose weight." | 9 | December 7, 2010 | 2 | 66 |
130,579 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I am 21 and got Mirena in September of last year. The first day was uncomfortable, it felt like really bed menses cramps, but since then I haven't even felt it. It did take a bit of getting used to on my husband's part, but now it's no problem. I'm lazy and have problems taking a pill every day, so I'm very happy with how carefree Mirena is. I haven't gained any weight (in fact I'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight) my periods are significantly lighter! I still spot for a day or two every couple months, which I can live with. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MIRENA! I know all women are different, but I would totally recommend this!" | 10 | May 13, 2012 | 1 | 122 |

74,384 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I love this birth control. My period used to be very heavy and it would last for at least a week of every month. I would be nauseous for at least two days, have cramps so badly I had to stay home some days and my PMS and mood swings were terrible. YUCK! I started Loestrin 24 because I heard it could help shorten my peroid. I have been on it for two years and over time my period shortened until it never lasts more than four days, and it lightened up enough I didn't have to limit my activities any longer because of my need to have a bathroom in close range for days on end. It helped clear up my acne, never caused weight gain, stopped my cramps, and I don't get nearly as moody. I did start craving chocolate like you wouldn't believe though." | 9 | February 16, 2010 | 10 | 147 |
51,299 | Azithromycin | chlamydia infection | "This is my second time having the infection, so as soon as it came I knew what it was. Unfortunately, I have a $75 gynecologist co-pay, plus whatever extra bill that they end up sending afterwards. I bought my azithromycin online--no rx-- for $16 for 6 500 mg pills. I ate first, then I took 2 500mg pills at once before bed. The nausea came within 30 min and I spent about 3 hours fighting my body from throwing up. I experienced hot flashes too (I didn't have that last time). I fell asleep and in the morning the nausea was gone. Discharge and odor are gone." | 9 | May 30, 2015 | 21 | 107 |
228,697 | Leflunomide | rheumatoid arthritis | "I have been on Arava for approximetely 2 months, prior to that I had Rituxin Infusion Therapy and was currently on 20 mg of prednisone. I had started to reduce the prednisone when I was down to 5mg and off, I started to have a burning in my mouth and tongue. I checked with the pharmacy and it is a know side effect for leisons and issue within the mouth. I am hoping that there is something else that I can take, as this past year my rheumatoid arthritis has been full blown out of control. I at least can now type and manage to button my clothes and tie my shoes. I can only hope." | 7 | January 15, 2014 | 81 | 116 |
207,463 | Suprep Bowel Prep Kit | bowel preparation | "Took the prep @ 5:30pm. Taste not bad... but definitely use the lemon slices. Then did 16 ounces of Gatorade followed by 16 ounces of water. Make yourself Comfy on the toilet.... I've been here the last 2 hours. It comes on quickly so I wouldn't risk it.... unless you wanna be poopy pants too. Overall, not bad at all. Easy prep" | 10 | October 9, 2016 | 14 | 62 |

I am a 46yo female w gad and adhd. brintellix was an option to address the gad w/o affecting bp.

136,485 | Entyvio | crohn's disease | "I have not been on it long enough. But it did control my diarrhea, not the pain. I was told because of my new diagnosis of Irritable Bowl Syndrome along with the Crohn's Disease, they are stopping the infusions to see if the pain is not a side effect from it. This is all I know about it so far. I hope this helps a little." | 8 | November 13, 2015 | 18 | 66 |
175,330 | Scopolamine | motion sickness | "So it worked... I normally suffer from motion sickness in cars, if I'm not driving. I decided to put the patch on before a 14 hour long international flight... I didn't suffer from any motion sickness but it made me illiterate! I could see fine except for letters and numbers (or basic shapes). So I get to the airport at my destination in Uganda and going through customs I needed to fill out a basic form about the reason for my visit etc... only I couldn't read it to save my life! I'd use it again in an emergency but be aware of the potential side effects." | 6 | July 9, 2016 | 9 | 107 |
59,443 | Avelox | sinusitis | "Very powerful med. Doc prescribed for my sinus infection. Major dizziness within half hour of taking the meds. It stays for about 5 hours. Congestion does clear up really fast. However I took it at night for the first dose and could not sleep the whole night. The 2nd day till today (5th), I took them after lunch and rested. The dizziness is overpowering. I literally can't function but I can sleep at night 2nd day onwards tho it takes slightly longer than usual to doze off. Happy today is my last day and I will probably never want to take this again if I can help it." | 6 | January 1, 2016 | 8 | 108 |
31,778 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "This is my second YI. I got my first back in feburary and took monistat 3 without any problems. Literally no itching or burning worse than my YI happened after I took it. I felt the symptoms coming on today so I decided to go to the store to get another monistat 3 kit. This time the applicator was a bit different... First time it was a little egg thing that I put on the applicator this time it was a cream filled applicator. An hour after inserting it and I am SO ITCHY mildly burning but so so so itchy. Honestly don't even know what to do." | 4 | October 27, 2015 | 7 | 108 |
141,623 | Escitalopram | depression | "Lexapro works but the (Generic) Escitalopram does NOT. Lexapro has saved my life. Made me a normal happy person. I tried the generic for a month and I couldn't hardly function. Thankfully I had my dr. call and my insurance covers all but $55.00 but it is sooo worth it." | 10 | May 14, 2012 | 42 | 50 |
111,806 | Gianvi | birth control | "Got on gianvi because of my insurance but it's definitely cleared up my acne and my boobs have gotten bigger. My period this month was only 2-3 days and it was spotting and I know I'm not pregnant because im not sexually active.
However my appetite has gone up since taking this." | 7 | November 3, 2015 | 3 | 52 |
134,624 | Ketorolac | pain | "I get the shot once in a while in conjunction with a steroid shot in my hips for possible sciatic/back pain. The burning and increased pain afterwards is well worth having a day or two of some kind of relief. Doesn't help me all the way and takes a while to fully work for me, but I'll take that over my daily pain any day." | 8 | June 18, 2013 | 30 | 65 |
139,926 | Euflexxa | osteoarthritis | "I am 76, a right handed tennis player with left knee pain around the knee cap and toward the inside of knee.

44,784 | Nasacort | allergic rhinitis | "Nasacort does not always work right away and often needs time to build up in your system. I didn't think it worked at first, but I eventually realized it did. It does a pretty good job of opening up my nasal passages that often have severe congestion. It is a lifesaver when I'm sleeping and wake up with horrendous sinus pressure. It works instantaneously.
I have had zero side effects. I am prone to anxiety like I'm assuming a lot of other people here. The first day or two I took it, I attributed a faster heartbeat and feeling blue to the Nasacort. It's false correlation due to panic.
Please don't be afraid to take this because of side effects read about by other panickers." | 8 | June 24, 2015 | 21 | 125 |
198,775 | Depo-Provera | abnormal uterine bleeding | "Worst decision ever! Everyone I had talked to had good experiences. So I decided to go ahead and get it, despite my gut feeling and all of the horror stories I had heard. I have been bleeding for almost three months now and it is heavy. I have no energy, no sex drive and constant stomach and head pains. I spend a ridiculous amount on pads and tampons, have destroyed all of my underwear and to top it all off, can't afford health care, despite working 40+ hour weeks. PLEASE DON'T GET." | 1 | June 9, 2017 | 13 | 92 |
22,412 | Treximet | migraine | "Thank goodness for this medicine. Migraines are new to me. I tried Relpax before this one and it did very little for me, even after taking two doses. I took this with my most recent headache and it worked like a miracle. I didn't realize how bad I felt until I took this and started to feel better." | 10 | April 16, 2012 | 5 | 58 |
120,665 | Dicyclomine | irritable bowel syndrome | "I was admitted to the hospital every 3-4 months, the pain was unbearable , vomiting, diarrhea. It would last 4-10 days, I had several specialist , none could help. I finally found a great doctor, she had it figured out in 20 minutes after REALLY reading my history. Bentyl is part a big part of saving me, I only take 10-20 mg when I feel the attack start, yes, I go to sleep, but not to hospital! Almost 2 years without a stay because of this medicine! I only take it when I feel the attack coming, but, it's been a life saver!!" | 10 | April 28, 2013 | 64 | 103 |
63,883 | Sertraline | depression | "I am huge fan of this drug I've been on it nearly 2 months and it took 6 weeks to work for me not a minute sooner.
I've read a few reviews and loads of low reviews are people who took it for 3 weeks etc but it needs a chance to get into your system.
It's changed my life totally I feel normal again first time in years.
My advice give it 2 months if nothing it's not for you.
Cheers" | 10 | September 23, 2017 | 40 | 82 |
155,682 | Metronidazole | bacterial infection | "I could not tolerate this drug. It was prescribed to me for C diff (which is intolerable itself). I was supposed to take this three times a day. However, the headaches, over whelming taste, nausea (I almost wanted to make myself throw up all day everyday) and instead of the diarrhea I had with the C diff it was replaced by gas, bloating, and constipation. I could never force myself to take the third pill. Doctor suggested coming off it and hopefully the C diff is gone!" | 4 | August 10, 2010 | 9 | 87 |
229,360 | Lurasidone | bipolar disorde | "I was put on Latuda recently after switching from Zyprexa because Zyprexa made me extremely fatigued. Latuda doesn't make me as tired except for when I'm driving, when I feel like I'm about to fall asleep at the wheel and sometimes do close my eyes. In addition I'm hungrier than normal and even though I'm only eating 1,000 calories or less a day and am exercising at least 4 times a week I am not losing weight. I feel like I am suffering pointlessly for this. It hasn't helped my depression either. I am irritable a lot of the time and am still having mood swings. I think it may be time for me to quit meds for good. They haven't worked for anyone else in my family so why should they work for me? I need to get off of them." | 4 | April 27, 2017 | 14 | 142 |
43,906 | Polyethylene glycol 3350 | constipation, acute | "I hadn't had a bowel movement in a few days so I mixed some of this into my apple juice and within 3 minutes I was in the bathroom.

212,124 | Lamotrigine | depression | "Lamictal along with Abilify has been a lifesaver for me. No antidepressant would work for me and I was feeling hopeless. I started taking Abilify and felt a little better. Once my doctor added Lamictal, I was back to my old self. I most note that you have to titrate up on the medicine no sooner than every 2 weeks. Once I hit the 100mg mark I started to feel better." | 10 | July 24, 2014 | 66 | 71 |
59,869 | NuvaRing | birth control | "I have been on the NuvaRing for a little over 3 months (because my doctor made me see if it would get better although I tried to change to something else less than a month in). I have gained 15 pounds, lost my sex drive, and have been extremely Moody and unable to feel like myself. However I would have to say the worst side effect is the Breast tenderness. I have been on many different birth controls and this one has more unpleasant side effects than any other birth control." | 2 | November 13, 2015 | 8 | 91 |
49,188 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "I have been on aviane for 4 packs now and at first there was spotting for about the first three weeks. Then I had an increased sex drive, but it quickly returned to normal after about a week. In the past 6 weeks I have been having a problem with cranker sores in my mouth. Im not sure if they are due to the pill but otherwise I think its a good BC pill." | 9 | June 13, 2016 | 3 | 74 |
15,894 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "Had almost every side effect! Gained weight, very moody, my face and back broke out bad (which I usually never have), very tender breast, frequent headaches, tired. Was just NOT a good experience, after 3 1/2 months I couldn't take it anymore. Scared to try a different one now since how bad of an experience this was." | 1 | August 4, 2016 | 8 | 57 |
6,157 | Minastrin 24 Fe | birth control | "Just had a baby two months ago. And wanted to start birth control Bc I have bad cramps. Before my pregnancy I was on birth control for six years.

94,324 | Trintellix | depression | "My initial experience with Brintellix is very promising. I've suffered from treatment resistive depression and Generalized anxiety disorder for many years. Name it, I've been on it. Many medicines flatlined me emotionally, other's amped anxiety and left me sleepless, others were weight sensitive, causing rapid weight gain (hello Remeron); others worked like a charm - until they stopped working. It's been a 25 year struggle. My new Doc put me on Brintellix and within short days I felt more alert and 'content' with no sleeping problems. No side effects on entry dose of 5 mg. I take 2.5 mg Klonopin when required if I have an anxiety peak - other than that I feel like the "Me" I knew was in there." | 9 | August 17, 2014 | 266 | 122 |

83,930 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "Mononessa has been great so far , I started with minastrin and then I switched to sprintec. I was experiencing serious weight gain from sprintec and finally made the switch to mononessa. I have experienced breakthrough bleeding but only due to my own irresponsibility . I am rating this 10/10 because my experience without the condom has not resulted in pregnancy. I am starting to have some concerns though. Sometimes I get these very weird headaches , its almost as if I'm dehydrated . I'll drink tons of water but that doesn't seem to help. And this month I have become very irritable and upset over just about anything . My moods are out of control and i just feel so hopeless sometimes." | 10 | August 23, 2017 | 3 | 123 |
96,055 | Sertraline | depression | "Before Zoloft I was depressed, stressed about everything. The depression got worst once my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I began Zoloft a month ago. I am on 200mg along with Xanax. I haven't had much of an appetite but I am happier and am now able to sleep better. Things don't bother me and if I'm upset I feel no urge to harm myself or cry all the time. I am able to be the wife and mother my family needs me to be. Thank you Zoloft." | 10 | December 13, 2012 | 109 | 88 |
169,798 | Amitriptyline | anxiety and stress | "I have found this medication very good for my stress levels and makes me very relaxed. I do seem to sweat alot and my mouth becomes dry and sometimes I have vivid dreams. I take 40mg a night." | 7 | November 19, 2008 | 71 | 38 |
17,301 | Errin | birth control | "I didn't notice any side effects with Errin until I was on it for about 5 months. That's when I realized I was depressed. Cried at the drop of a hat and for no reason, got upset/angry at things that I normally wouldn't think twice about, etc. I didn't know what was causing this but decided to go off the pill to see if that would help. Within a couple weeks, I was back to my old self. I also didn't realize it at the time, but Errin seriously lowered my sex drive." | 3 | September 13, 2013 | 19 | 93 |
56,993 | Saliva substitutes | xerostomia | "I have sjogrens so have a dry mouth. From the first time I tried it I was impressed with no dryness from alcohol in my mouth, no burning. This mouth wash has kept my breathe and mouth slightly moist for awhile afterward use too. I highly recommend this for dry mouth, from medications or medical conditions." | 10 | January 15, 2017 | 7 | 56 |
95,445 | Otezla | plaque psoriasis | "After failing enbrel and humira, my doc moved me to a different class. Otezla has been a great for my severe psoriasis on the palms of my hands and psoriatic arthritis. I went from 100% coverage with extremely painful lesions, unable to use my hands to 100% clearance, in three weeks. My rheumatologist and I both are amazed with the results. I will put up with the side effects as the massive improvement makes it all worth it. Side effects I've had : headaches /migraines, indigestion, stomach pain, loose stools and nausea. All but headaches have started to subside as of my 3rd week in! Very, very happy here!!" | 10 | February 12, 2016 | 35 | 109 |
131,604 | Effexor XR | depression | "I've been on Effexor for about 2 years. It's changed my life completely. Before I went to rehab and before I was on it, I couldn't get out of bed for days at a time. It gives me energy and motivation! However, the withdrawal symptoms are horrific. If I miss a dose, I get severe headaches. I feel like there are fireworks going off in my head. Last year, I had to go the ER because I couldn't breathe or stop shaking after 3 weeks of cutting it cold turkey (due to an insurance error). This is definitely not the drug for people who regularly miss doses or have problems with addiction pills. It's not for everyone, but works great for me." | 8 | March 19, 2017 | 39 | 122 |
79,522 | Plan B One-Step | emergency contraception | "The condom broke on Saturday night and we didn't realize it until much later that night. I was completely freaking out so I made him go buy me the Plan B pill. I took the pill around 13 hours after sex. I don't think I've ever been that scared in my entire life. (Way too young to have a child) After taking this pill, I got sharp stomach pains. And 3 hours after I took it I experienced sore breasts that were so sore that I couldn't ever wear a t-shirt. This pain lasted for 3-4 days. The days went on and my period tracker (if you don't have one I suggest you download one) indicated that I was 3 days late for my period. I finally got it and I've never been so happy! So glad I took this pill. I recommend this pill." | 9 | February 2, 2014 | 27 | 145 |
25,217 | Evamist | postmenopausal symptoms | "I haven't seen much mentioned about the personality change (i.e. edginess and sometimes just plain meaness) that occurs with perimenopause. I have found that using this spray it takes that edginess away. My family can tell when I forget to spray it in the morning. I don't like being mean, my nature is typically laid back and normally a nice person. It has been a big help to me and my family by giving the nice Mom back to the family." | 10 | October 2, 2008 | 91 | 81 |
161,795 | Diphenhydramine | insomnia | "In a lower dose of 25mg it made it easier to wake up in the morning and increased my appetite but in the higher dose of 50mg I got headaches, lost my appetite, and my sleep got even more messed up." | 5 | February 24, 2011 | 8 | 41 |
112,340 | Contrave | obesity | "I have found Contrave to be great since it has given me the will power of steel and virtually all of my cravings for sweets are gone. I have been pretty much effortlessly been able to follow a healthy diet unlike before. I did have to give up caffeine immediately since the bupropion tends to give people the jitters for a few weeks which has now subsided for me. I also am only taking one pill a day early in the morning and will only increase as needed as instructed by my doctor to minimize the jitters. I am quite hopeful since unlike the dozens and dozens of times where I tried to lose weight before, I am not struggling at all. Plus, my mood is better to boot!" | 10 | December 17, 2014 | 58 | 129 |
184,080 | Hydroxyzine | anxiety | "I take Hydeoxzine HCLfor anxiety. I have to take a higher dose for it to work (100mg 3x a day). I have severe anxiety to the point it makes me vomit and I end up having a panic attack. I can't take a benzo as I have a addictive personality. The Hydroxyzine does work for me somewhat in the sense that it makes me kinda numb. I get super calm and relaxed. If your psychiatrist/doctor suggest that you take it for anxiety or something like that make sure you get the Hydroxyzine HCL brand and not the Hydroxyzine Pamoate. There is a big difference or that's what my doctor told me anyways. The HCL brand is more for anxiety and the Pamoate brand is more for allergies and things like that." | 8 | March 24, 2017 | 33 | 131 |
9,897 | Lo Loestrin Fe | birth control | "I started this pill to alleviate migraines and prevent pregnancy. Overall, my experience with this pill has been wonderful from day one. I don't have any breakouts, no migraines, no weight gain, and I haven't gotten my period once in the seven months I've been on it. The downside: I'm overly emotional. I will cry over a commercial, now. And I'm paranoid all the time of being pregnant." | 6 | February 26, 2014 | 54 | 68 |
37,566 | Vyvanse | adhd | "I'm a 46 y.o. female and have been taking Vyvanse for approximately 3 months. I started out on 50mg in the morning and it worked great by giving me energy and completing projects. However, I would get tired after 8 hours. After 1 month of taking 50mg x1 a day my doctor switched me to 30mg twice daily to prevent that tired feeling after 8 hours. After 2 months of taking 30mg x2 a day I'm tired a lot and seemed to have already built up a resistance to it. Maybe I just need to increase the dose, not sure. This medicine worked great at first for ADHD and I'm hoping I can increase the dose and feel energetic and focused again. The side effects I have experienced are, weight loss (13lbs) the first month but gained 8 lbs back, and have bad breath." | 7 | July 25, 2011 | 8 | 144 |

121,186 | Venlafaxine | depression | "What can I say about this drug, I've been off it a year and still don't feel right. When I was on it it did not feel it helped with my depression. but My main problems started when trying to stop taking this drug, it made me hallucinate, I thought people where trying to kill me And i got weird electric shocks in my head (it got that bad I checked my self into mental health unit and they would not let me out for 2 weeks). I had to go back on the drug and come off it very slowly over about 3 months. I think now I have PTSD. Before taking this drug I only ever had depression and anxiety, but now I'm a total wreck I've lost my job my gf I've still not got over the shaking. I was only on a low dose for a short period of time." | 1 | October 5, 2016 | 15 | 154 |
212,724 | Phenergan | nausea/vomiting | "I had a very serious vomiting problem with my first pregnancy. I had to be hospitalized and then put on an IV at home for fluids. When I was about two months pregnant with my second child I was given promethazine, and it was the only thing that kept me from the same issues as the first pregnancy. I was still sick everyday, and I was still vomiting sporadically. However, I was able to actually eat and drink and gain weight. My son was born fine. Now I am pregnant with my third and have started on it earlier than the second pregnancy. I was not aware that the effects of the drug on unborn children is unknown. My doctor had told me it was safe. Hopefully this next baby will be fine as well." | 9 | March 17, 2009 | 26 | 135 |
49,033 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "The first day I took alesse I felt perfectly normal. The next day I instantly felt nauseous and tired. The third day and 3 days after I had severe migraines that never seemed to go away even after taking 2 400mg advils. The migraines went away for a week but came back this week for another dreadful 4 days. Couldn't handle it anymore and went to my doctor who advised me to stop taking the pills and wait a week to see if the migraines continue without the use of alesse. Hopefully I just need to change brands of birth control to better suit me! I'm sure it's a great birth control just wasn't for me!" | 3 | September 15, 2016 | 3 | 116 |
