186,386 | Desvenlafaxine | ibromyalgia | "Pristiq seems to be the medicine that works the best for my fibromyalgia. I was taking 100mg awhile and felt great except for not being able to sleep well, so I went back to 50mg. I may go back to 100mg and take something for sleep. God Bless all of us with this disease. I have had this for 9 years and have tried everything." | 9 | May 27, 2011 | 26 | 65 |
3,774 | Fioricet | headache | "I have been suffering from Post Concussion Syndrome for 10 months. I was a prisoner in my own house and lived like I was 80 and I am only 43. I had to stop working, driving and going anywhere that I had to stand or walk. Last week, I went to a new Neurosurgeon and he prescribed Fioricet. I take 2 tablets every 4 hours, but as soon as it gets close to that 4 hr mark the pain comes right back. Luckily, it only takes about 15-20 mins before it kicks in. I called my Dr today and said I love this medicine. I finally feel like I am claiming my life back again. My only worry is that I am going to have to stay on this medicine for the rest of my life. " | 9 | June 18, 2013 | 80 | 137 |
213,798 | Tioconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "Please dont use this, it had my vag on fire, and burned! It made symptoms worst and I literally had to try to get what I could out to get relief. Not worth it, use the 5 or 7 day cream." | 1 | January 3, 2017 | 2 | 41 |
98,065 | Nexplanon | birth control | "Got the nexplanon inserted about a year ago and boy do I regret it... I'm usually a happy person now I'm a wreck stress and all.. first off after giving birth I lost 20lbs after placing the nexplanon I had gained that plus more... damn my family and friends are seeing how I am just letting my self go but I'm not it's this damn birth control I can't help it and yes I've tried to lose weight even went as far as taking diet pills and nothing... I've never took or even thought of taking pills to lose weight but I had no other choice cause dieting and working my butt off isn't doing a thing to me..." | 2 | August 20, 2015 | 5 | 119 |
179,730 | Adapalene / benzoyl peroxide | acne | "I was using epiduo for about four days then realized that my face began to burn like I was sticking my face into a fire. So I just ignored it the first day it began to burn and though that maybe it was the soap that I used to clean my face before I applied epiduo, so I used a different soap and applied the face cream and it began to burn even more than before. I then just decided to stop using epiduo and my face continued to burn two days later. I do not recommend for anyone. Horrible experience." | 1 | April 5, 2016 | 2 | 101 |
100,063 | Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol | endometriosis | "I have been taken it for 3 weeks.
So far, so good! I was put on BC because I have severe Endometriosis and every single day of my life, I would have severe cramps. Period or not, they were always there. SO- I started BC.
I started the active pill on Day 3 of my last period and it stopped it immediately (that was the plan) which is amazing, and means that it's doing what it should.
With Endo, my hormones are very out of whack-- so the first few days felt like I was going through menopause. Hot flashes, cold chills, nausea, irritability-- then extremely hungry and happy all in a matter of minutes. For days. It's SO much better now, and I'm very happy to be on it.
Also, I have no noticeable weight gain! That was my biggest fear!" | 10 | April 10, 2017 | 0 | 142 |
149,397 | Mirena | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I've had the Mirena for about 3 1/2 years @ first I experienced bleeding for about 4-6 months with only a few days of not bleeding in between (like some have said) I got it inserted after I gave birth to my son. After those first months of bleeding passed my periods became light and only lasting a few days. I love this because before I was a heavy, heavy bleeder! But recently I've noticed way more acne, along with bleeding (spotting) every 2 weeks. Now all of a sudden I had a heavy period again! Along with cramps and the same old stuff! I'm kinda scared because it has always worked extremely well for me! I wonder if all this is because it's getting closer to the 5 year mark! Can anyone relate?" | 8 | May 19, 2014 | 75 | 134 |
28,582 | Lexapro | anxiety | "Lexapro is wonderful! I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and was put on Lexapro about 5 months ago. I started with the 10mg does, but now taking 20mg. It took about 5 weeks for me to notice this medicine was working. I have not experienced any side effects so far and have actually lost weight since I have been on Lexapro. Instead of me being edgy, uptight, panicking, etc. I am now HAPPY and CALM! Lexapro is really a miracle." | 10 | December 31, 2011 | 36 | 80 |
149,094 | Mirena | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I have PCOS and fibroids. Had a tubal ligation during caesearean with third child 7/21/09 which lead to 10 weeks of bleeding and spotting. Had d&c in December 2010 then mirena inserted for treatment of heavy menstrual flow. Of course my periods go heavier, not lighter, but somewhat predictable with help of period tracker app. Once my period hit day 47 in Oct 2012 I had it removed and my period started that day.
Since I had the mirena removed my periods have become normal" | 4 | August 9, 2015 | 3 | 85 |
3,981 | Seroquel XR | bipolar disorde | "I have been taking seroquel for a little over a year and a half now and it has been the best thing for me. I started off at 350mg when my mania was insanely uncontrollable. But after 2 months I was able to go down to 250 and ever since its been perfect because I don't fight the drowsiness in the mornings and get a great nights rest. I did gain weight, only 20 pounds, but I have always been extremely athletic (2 sport collegiate athlete) and it didn't really affect me at all. Just as long as it keeps the manic/depressive episodes on lock down I think I can handle a curvier body.
I seriously reccommend this if you can handle a little weight gain!" | 10 | October 8, 2015 | 16 | 126 |
56,695 | Meclizine | vertig | "I have been taking this as needed for a year now. I was experiencing bad vertigo and ended up having a brain tumor. 2 surgeries and 3 hospitalizations later I still experience some vertigo and vision issues. I take 25 mg as needed and it helps tremendously! It does make you drowsy, but after using it for awhile that side effect does subside. I have had no other side effects from it, I find it very calming and it also helps with mild nausea which typically accompanies the vertigo." | 8 | January 6, 2016 | 50 | 89 |
163,771 | Mirtazapine | depression | "I've been taking this now for 5 months and have had mixed reactions. At first heavy "hangover" but felt much better in a few weeks so much so I got back to work. Now I have a problem because of my shifts. When coming off a night shift I was taking one (30mg) before going to bed in the morning but found it very difficult to wake up and when I had days off I slept all day and night only getting up for toilet and drinks. After not taking them for a few days had very sore gums, sore stomach, sickness and diarrhea but in the early days very good results. Helped get me back on track. Wouldn't recommend long term use. " | 7 | March 27, 2010 | 7 | 124 |
178,568 | Victoza | weight loss | "I've been taking Victoza for almost a month now. I thankfully have no side effects and have lost 8 pounds so far. I have PCOS and for the last 6 years I couldn't loose any weight. I really tried everything: no sugar , gluten free, low carb ! It feels amazing to finally see the weight come off. I have not been exercising but Victoza is helping with my cravings , I am almost never hungry and I don't think about food at all. It s amazing to feel normal again." | 10 | September 23, 2017 | 31 | 91 |
157,785 | Accutane | acne | "Best decision of my life! My acne since I've had in fourth grade is gone, and I feel so much happier. My confidence has increased massively and I am no longer depressed. The medicine did make me drowsy, ill-tempered, dry skin, and horrendous break outs. But, overall this medicine has worked wonders for me and is completely worth it!" | 10 | October 7, 2014 | 27 | 59 |
67,979 | Plan B | emergency contraception | "It worked! I took it 3 hous after our accident, 15 days into my cycle, and today I got my period right on time. I had no side effects so I was worried it hadn't worked but it certainly did. Very happy with the outcome and the product especially considering I'm extremely med and hormone sensitive. I would highly recommend it." | 10 | May 15, 2016 | 3 | 61 |
207,810 | Suprep Bowel Prep Kit | bowel preparation | "This was my first time using Suprep. My previous colonoscopy I used Miralax for the prep. I have to say drinking the Suprep was by far the WORST part of the whole procedure for me. Even worse than the toilet visits and way worse than the colonoscopy itself. The taste was a horrible combination of grape syrup, salt and a metallic under-taste. I didn't vomit but wow, sure thought I would. I chilled each of the two bottles of Suprep, mixed with cold water, drank through a straw (the straw didn't help) in the largest chugs I could possibly stand and then rinsed/gargled with water afterward. Absolutely revolting. But effective and thorough. I would just add, Suprep manufacturer, Please fix the horrendous taste of this stuff!" | 9 | August 26, 2015 | 13 | 126 |
90,690 | Chateal | birth control | "I've had a great experience on Chateal. I used to have terrible migraines and unbearable cramps that on more than one occasion threatened to send me to the ER (and only didn't because I couldn't stand up and walk to the car to get there), and that all stopped when I got on birth control. I started on Levora and switched to Chanteal, the transition was seamless. I haven't had any of my previous problems and...it just works. If you are the kind of person who is able to take your pill at the same time each day (and really be consistent), then I would absolutely suggest this pill." | 10 | August 29, 2016 | 4 | 109 |
130,012 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I have been on Skyla since Dec. 12 2014. So Just over a month. (NO KIDS). Getting it put in felt like really bad cramp with a lot of pressure. They insert the stick and measurer you first. (10 seconds.) They then put the stick in again and put in Skyla (10Sec). I was dizzy and felt sick for a few minutes. It passed. I had cramps for a day and a half. Then I felt great. I was on my period when I had it inserted. They say the cervix is softer and the process will be less painful. Overall it has been great. No major cravings. My appetite has decreased since I have been off my last birth control (pill.) I cramp once in a while. My first period was longer. I would recommend! Migraine 90% gone! My complexion on birth control is great! Including Skyla." | 9 | January 24, 2015 | 20 | 148 |
31,818 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "I'm a college student and its 930 am and I'm supposed to be in class, but because of the intense burning and itching after using this product I cannot bear to get up and go. Literally in bed trying not to cry. I've had yeast infections before and I don't ever remember having this kind of reaction to medicine! Going to the walk in clinic soon as I can stand to drive to figure out what to do next because I can't afford a day off from school and work!" | 4 | September 3, 2015 | 2 | 90 |
207,384 | Suprep Bowel Prep Kit | bowel preparation | "After reading several reviews I was a bit concerned about the treatment. My experience falls into the positive side of the reviews. The flavor is like drinking diet cherry drink, knock it back quickly in about 5 mins in 8 to 10 gulps. Start drinking the water immediately which will cleanse your palate. Drank the next 2 big glasses of water within 40 mins. First treatment started working in one hour. 4 trips to the throne over 3 hours and then felt comfortable enough to go to bed. Like many people I am writing this whilst starting the second treatment. Feels like it will kick in quicker this time. All in all much better than the heavy 64 ounce treatment of 5 years ago. Eat light 2 days out and liquid only diet day before helped a lot." | 9 | April 25, 2017 | 18 | 138 |
50,464 | Gabapentin | migraine | "I started having having headaches everyday then boom migraine. I was on Topamax they kept upping it. I would wake up with a headache go to bed with one. Then I had a horrible migraine lasted 6 weeks, so they added gabapentin I currently take 1600 mg and 200 mg Topamax but the gabapentin saved me. I do experience side effects like word issues or mood.. but without it I couldn't go to the store even with sun glasses without throwing up. I had to leave my job of ten yrs. I am disabled and I have the side effects but I can go outside now and the pain is manageable. " | 9 | March 16, 2013 | 65 | 112 |
136,914 | Isotretinoin | acne | "I took 60 mg of accutane for almost 6 months and I had moderate to severe acne. Did help my acne tremendously and though once in a while I still get a little pimple here and there, it is not to the severity of before taking the medication. However the side effect was brutal: very dry skin, nosebleed , and a lot of hair shedding. I say the hair shedding was the worst side effect of the medication because I was shedding hair during the medication and even after I stop taking accutane, I developed telogen effluvium which cause more shedding for three more months. Eventually the shedding stop and everything went back to normal. Yes this medication is effective for treating acne but be cautious of side effect." | 9 | February 3, 2017 | 10 | 129 |
6,708 | Paxil CR | panic disorde | "Paxil CR has made a great impact on my quality of life. I started menopause and was dealing with stressful family health issues, both beginning at the same time. I begin to suffer from panic attacks and was overly sensitive to EVERYTHING. I was taking Lexapro which did not help at all. Paxil CR has been a God send for me." | 10 | July 27, 2014 | 32 | 61 |
220,079 | Amitriptyline | migraine prevention | "I was having migraine headaches anywhere from one to four times a week. I have been taking 10 mg and I am down to one a month. This has been a lifesaver. The side effects are manageable for me. I've had dry mouth, constipation, and the first month I had difficulty waking up in the morning." | 10 | December 17, 2015 | 34 | 56 |
58,182 | Acetaminophen / hydrocodone | pain | "I have been taking Lortab and Percocet for about a year now due to my endometriosis and ovarian cysts. It definitely helps to relieve the pain and anxiety. The down fall to it is the horrible feeling of withdrawal." | 9 | May 31, 2009 | 21 | 39 |
190,708 | Oxybutynin | overactive bladde | "Been wearing the patches for a week now. I can tell a difference. The urge to use the bathroom greatly decreased. So glad they are OTC! The only problem i have is when I remove the patch it leaves adhesive on the skin, its hard to get off. And waterproof would be better. Maybe they will update them sooner or later. But def recommended" | 7 | November 11, 2013 | 63 | 64 |
30,125 | Klonopin | anxiety | "I take 4mg of Klonopin per day. I have done so for more than two years. I went to a clinic where a "no benzo" policy was established and I was taken off the medicine. I went through two years of agony. Neurontin was given as a substitute...it made me depressed, and nauseous. I finally had to go to a private doctor to be put back on my Klonopin and am returning to normal. The only issue I would mention is that it is not a fast acting medicine." | 8 | October 3, 2014 | 80 | 89 |
142,136 | Escitalopram | anxiety | "Saved my life. I used to take 20 mg two years ago. I ended up taking myself off, (tapering) then I was fine for about 6 months. I fell into a relapse and now started on 10 mg. I would be so afraid of what to eat and if something was going to make my blood sugar to high. Now I can eat healthy but not have to worry that to much fruit will make me sick. I can have a soda every now and then. I love Lexapro. The first few days are different, headache, stomach ache and dizziness. Now I feel 100% better." | 10 | July 24, 2008 | 56 | 105 |
156,537 | Dulaglutide | diabetes, type 2 | "I’ve been on Trulicity about 5 months and haven’t had any negative side effects. Before trulicity my A1C was 12.5 and my sugars couldn’t be controlled. I failed the usual oral medications due to a stomach issues and my weight was climbing. After 3 months on Trulicity my A1C dropped to 8.5 and I lost 11 lbs. My sugar has been much easier to control and at 5 months I’ve lost 22 lbs. and only have 15 lbs. to go to get to my pre-diabetic weight of 120 lbs. I’ve been able to control my appetite and make better food choices and I have more energy. I also use once daily Farxiga (pill) and once daily Lantus (injection). An interesting side effect of better controlled sugar and weight loss has been better respiratory volume when I’m active." | 10 | November 6, 2017 | 3 | 137 |
95,926 | Sertraline | panic disorde | "I was experiencing severe anxiety and panic. I could barely leave my house and everyday activities seemed impossible. I would get dizzy, pounding heart, the works! Also, I couldn't sit still anymore! I could not sit in class, dinners, or even just with friends. My doctor prescribed Zoloft 25mg, a typically low dosage, after an unsuccessful attempt with Lexapro. I have been on Zoloft 25mg for six weeks now and I'm doing tremendously better. The first two weeks or so I experienced minimal, tolerable side effects like foggy feeling the first day, heighten anxiety and restlessness, but nothing too bad. Now I feel great! I can sit for longer periods, little to no obsessive thoughts and am pretty much panic free! I love Zoloft!" | 9 | August 27, 2013 | 73 | 124 |
211,183 | Aftera | emergency contraception | "Ok I'm actually worker from cvs. I personally use aftera and its always worked , but unfortunately I was with customer today I had recomended it to a while ago because my personal experience and she told me today that she's pregnant and buying prenatal vitamins is not 100% but it work for me" | 10 | November 20, 2016 | 1 | 54 |
207,243 | Valtrex | cold sores | "After being sick with bronchitis and upper respiratory infection for about 2 weeks, I woke up one morning with cold sores overtaking my whole top lip. I've always taken Lysine and that helps cut back on the length of time for healing when I just have one cold sore. This time, the swelling and pain of having multiple cold sores was just too much to handle. I phoned my dr. and explained that my top lip was so swollen and that eating and drink had become painful. Dr. called in a prescription of 2 a day Valtrex. I took the first one yesterday around noon, by 6 pm the swelling and pain had already gone down. This morning I woke up and while the blisters are still there, it's like it reversed all the sores. No pain or swelling. Just healing!!" | 10 | April 7, 2016 | 22 | 141 |
106,429 | Implanon | birth control | "Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I have had the implant for 4 months now. I have my period every month right on time but it is much lighter and there is no cramping. My doctor let me know that the implant is even safer then getting your tubes and you should not gain any weight from using this birth control. She told me the only thing people complain about is your period because it can come whenever or not at all. I haven't experienced any weight gain or mood swings like I did on the pill. My sex drive is healthy as well. I recommend this birth control !" | 10 | May 2, 2016 | 21 | 111 |
119,875 | Losartan | high blood pressure | "got prescribed this about a month ago I'm 22, 250 lbs and have had a blood pressure reading of 170/110 for the past year or so after taking cozaar 50 mg for just one month daily its dropped to 112/66 I feel great except for the blurry distorted vision rather have that then die from a stroke or heart attack any day other than that no side effects." | 9 | November 10, 2016 | 41 | 68 |
151,789 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "I started smoking at 14 and was given a sample of Chantix when I was 46. For 36 years smoking was part of my life, when my doctor handed me a pharmaceutical sample of Chantix I laughed. One day, I opened the box and within a week I was no longer smoking, 7 years later and I remain smoke free with absolutely no desire to ever touch another cigarette! I did not experience the side effects, chewed cinnamon gum for a few weeks and was stunned at how there was no withdrawal. This is simply the best there is to quit smoking! " | 10 | September 4, 2013 | 33 | 103 |
52,774 | Carbidopa / levodopa | parkinson's disease | "I have been taking Rytary for the last 9 days, and it worked great at night since I was sleep. But it worked about 30%-40% for me as soon as I put something in my mouth. I had a small apple yesterday and took my pills 2 1/2 hours later, and I was stiff, with almost no movement for the next 2 hours. Today I had a very light vegii lunch at noon, took Rytary at 3pm which worked about 30%, and I finally decided to take my Parcopaat 6pm on top of Rytary! I would vote for Rytary at night only." | 3 | March 12, 2015 | 49 | 102 |
35,089 | Levofloxacin | sinusitis | "I started taking this for sinuses, I really love this stuff, my wife does to because I stay stiff and she really loves that, other wise I have no complaint. Call my Dr. about the stiff and she called me in to see her, she couldn't believe it , she asked me if I was taking any kind of drug for my ( you know what I'm talking about ) stiffness and I told her no, she still didn't believe me and wanted to try it out to see if it was just as good as the other drugs for stiffness " | 10 | January 8, 2017 | 1 | 102 |
15,178 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I have irregular periods and can go months without them. I'd been suffering from a lengthy period starting the pills. At first they stopped it for the first few days of the first week. But then the bleeding only came right back and 10 times worse and I'm half way through the month and I can't take this. I wanna just stop taking this. But I don't know what to do. This made me way to emotional. My stomach feels like it's being stabbed. I don't truly ever get cramps but I want to cry -3 weeks added onto this means my periods is over a month. I honestly just want to cry . I'm in so much pain." | 1 | May 14, 2017 | 0 | 119 |
113,822 | Tegretol | bipolar disorde | "I have been on Tegretol for 8 days now, I'm very happy with the results so far. My mood and energy seems to have improved. I'm taking Tegretol 200mg twice a day along with Prosac and Ambien for my insomnia. The only side effect so far is a little bit lightheaded, but no biggie. I have begun a journal/to do list and I'm very happy when I cross off the items I have completed, in addition in my daily journal I'm drafting my daily feelings and my accomplishments. I would highly recommend this as this is helping me out tremendously. My memory is not as sharp and this HELPS big time." | 9 | September 3, 2015 | 47 | 111 |
72,620 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I'm 5'7", 150lbs, 27 yr/old, on BC since I was 18. Originally on Yaz, then BeYaz, but realized after stopping BC all together that it was causing me to have ongoing nausea, tiredness and fluid retention issues, so Dr. mentioned I might have estrogen sensitivity I didn't experience any side effects in the first month of taking this BC at all, my mood was better, period was light, and I was able to lose almost 25lbs (was at 175lbs) following the same diet & exercise plan I had been on while on BeYaz. However, by the second month I began experiencing horrible stomach cramps, to the point where I was unable to move and would eventually throw up from the pain. Once I stopped taking this BC, stomach pains disappeared." | 6 | September 27, 2015 | 3 | 130 |
81,156 | Yaz | acne | "This pill has cleared up my acne and regulated my period! I used to never get my period and now I get it every single month. I did go up a few bra sizes but I remain the same weight overall. It did make my period very heavy and very painful along with bad emotional breakdowns on the sugar pills. Other than that, I really like this pill!" | 8 | December 3, 2017 | 0 | 68 |
142,356 | Levonorgestrel | emergency contraception | "1) Don't google anything!! 2) If you took it within 24 hours, YOU ARE OKAY. Trust the 95% probability. Even if you took it within 72 hours, you still have an 89% probability. Trust the numbers, they probably aren't as high as they should be due to human error / it's just the company trying to protect it's ass. Don't freak out and don't let this bother you too much!" | 9 | October 19, 2017 | 26 | 70 |
116,275 | Adalimumab | psoriasis | "Today October 8th 2015 has made one week since I have been on humira I am so pleased with the results my skin is already starting to clear up I'm so exited to see what it will look like in a month. I have suffered from psoriasis for over 10 years and for the first time I have hope that I will feel normal again. I have rated it a 9 for only one reason (the medicine burns a little) but over all not as bad as I thought it would be being I have to give the shot to myself, I have only noticed a small side effect every now and then I get headaches but nothing I can't tolerate. Today I have taken my second dose and I feel fine not one symptom yet. I can't wait to see the future where I can finally go out without hiding under long sleeves and pants" | 9 | October 8, 2015 | 17 | 156 |
197,415 | Paroxetine | panic disorde | "I was prescribed paroxetine 10mgs for my panic disorder and OCD. I've been on it about 1 month. At first I was really tired, could hardly stay awake and I couldn't eat because I felt nauseated, and at times I felt like my body was burning from the inside out. I almost felt like a zombie, just sat there, didn't smile, frown or laugh. Thought I was going crazy. How would I take care of my kids like this? I decided to keep taking it because I hadn't had a panic attack and having one frightened me to no end. After about 2 weeks I was able to get up and clean without being picky, ride in a car without being scared, we had some storms and I didn't panic, and I was playing with my kids again. The pros outweigh the cons! Thank you paroxetine." | 8 | May 24, 2010 | 8 | 146 |
107,175 | Implanon | birth control | "I have been on Implanon for 6 months and it was a wonderful experience. From the time of insertion, I've only had two periods. I don't get periods anymore and there's only slight discharge more often. I've had slight weight gain and a little acne problems. I have had pain at the site of insertion or my lower abdomen but nothing serious. I would recommend this for anyone looking to use birth control, I personally love the Implanon." | 10 | May 29, 2012 | 0 | 78 |
166,094 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I only had the iud put in yesterday so my review is only regarding insertion because I seem to have had a very different experience than other women here. I may have a low pain threshold but my word it was absolutely horrendous. I was given heavy ibuprofen about 10 mins before and was in a jolly mood, excited to finally get this and dump the pill, but found the entire process painful. My doctor was incredible and so were the nurses but I reacted like a mad woman, screaming and crying like I never have before really. When I apologized to the dr for my actions she said I wasn't even on the list of the 'screamers' she had seen that day. So just a warning- this is NOT a 'bearable' experience for everyone. Still glad I did it." | 7 | January 31, 2017 | 2 | 140 |
42,722 | Enalapril | left ventricular dysfunction | "Enalapril has been shown to prevent the remodeling of heart structure. This is the most important drug that my 20 year old son takes with respect to delaying transplant. His ventricular function has not deteriorated since starting enalapril 9 years ago and his cardiologist tells him to take this medication religiously." | 10 | November 26, 2008 | 14 | 51 |
61,763 | Citalopram | depression | "I was on celexa 20 mg for depression. It helped great with my anxiety symptoms, but not well for depression. My doctor recommended I take it because I am on the anxious-side of depression, and it really helped with those symptoms - overthinking, freaking out over every little thing. My boyfriend told me I became a lot less intense and irritable. It did not help my loss of energy and fatigue and low-motivation and I still had suicidal thoughts. The first week I started on 10 mg and experienced no change or side-effects. I moved to 20 mg and it made me worse for about a week, then my anxiety symptoms got better. I am switching to bupropione because I need help with depression symptoms." | 4 | October 31, 2015 | 27 | 125 |
32,458 | Lisinopril | high blood pressure | "I've been taking lisinopril for about a month. It makes me feel calm and a bit tired but I started taking it before bed and doesn't bother me. It has been making me feel calm and centered akin to Prozac but I assume it's because it thins your blood." | 10 | March 5, 2013 | 66 | 49 |
106,937 | Implanon | birth control | "I have had Implanon for over a year and the side effects have been going on for that long. My hair is falling out I have the worst anxiety and mood swings and have gained over 30lbs since on it, no amount of exercise and diet can help. I have an appointment in 3 weeks to have it removed because of the side effects." | 1 | January 2, 2014 | 28 | 64 |
227,960 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I have had the Implanon for about 8 months and I have nothing but problems! Mood swings and the feel of being tired and sick may be due to the loss of blood." | 1 | January 11, 2011 | 1 | 33 |
111,218 | Ledipasvir / sofosbuvir | hepatitis c | "I took this medication for 8 weeks. The first 2 nights I had headaches but nothing I couldn't deal with. That is the ONLY time I could even tell I was on the medication. There is no trace of the virus in my blood work. This medication is FABULOUS it worked for me and I would recommend it to anyone. There is a newer drug out now where you don't even have to go get bloodwork throughout the process. Science is awesome." | 10 | August 12, 2017 | 6 | 82 |
168,304 | Rizatriptan | migraine | "I occasionally get migraine when I have been in stressful situations. It appears that my migraine are related to a deficit of serotonin. I also get migraines in stores that sell lots of cheap plastic items. This medication is 100% effective for me." | 10 | January 20, 2014 | 3 | 43 |
15,655 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | endometriosis | "My doctor started me on Microgestin over a year ago to control my endometriosis symptoms. So far, it has helped completely with the irregular bleeding I was experiencing. I still have pain, so it hasn't 100% helped with that aspect. One side effect that almost made me stop altogether was the breast tenderness. I do notice that I get a small amount of acne at times. I have suffered with migraines for 17 years and I honestly feel that this medicine brings them on or makes them worse. I have recorded 21 migraines in less than a year so am currently considering switching to another method of birth control." | 5 | November 1, 2016 | 4 | 109 |
162,341 | Hyaluronan | osteoarthritis | "Have Osteoarthritis in both shoulders. Have received 3 sets of injections over 24 months, 6 months apart with no side effects. Excellent benefit after shot, diminishing proportionally over period. Decided to stop weight lifting after last shot to see what would happen (age 67) and found the pain has not returned. It has been 8 months now and pain level is quite tolerable with NSAIDs. Will start moderate exercise program next week to determine what level will be an acceptable compromise to inactivity." | 9 | August 5, 2009 | 32 | 83 |
147,921 | Norethindrone | birth control | "I have "white coat syndrome", therefore my gyno felt that the mini pill made sense due to high blood pressure. I originally wanted a combo birth control to help with acne. I asked her about side effects and I guess I could have researched more, but since she said it was the only option besides an iud. I've been on it for 7 weeks now and at first the mini pill was wonderful. My period was shorter and less cramping. Since then, my skin has been broken out since it increases oil production. I look terrible. I can't have sex since I've been bleeding for 2 weeks since my period started. It's not breakthrough bleeding- it's like another period. My mood isn't effected, but I feel less confident because I'm either retaining water or gaining weight." | 4 | October 18, 2016 | 3 | 136 |
201,337 | Zoloft | depression | "This medication has given me my life back. For months I walked around in a haze, had trouble focusing, getting out (and staying out) of bed, and would sleep for 18 hours. My social life suffered, my grades suffered, I would cry all the time, had trouble communicating, or wanting to be literally anywhere but in bed. I started on 50mg for a little over a month and while things slightly improved, it wasn't enough. I should also mention the side effects in the first week were terrible - brain fog, sleepiness, just general haziness... terrible. Overall, I was still depressed just... less. My doctor and I agreed to increase the dose to 75mg and this is an amazing medication. I can get out of bed, I can cook/shower/do laundry again, and I have done more school work in the past two weeks than I have for months. I can socialize and talk again, I don%u2019t cry as easily, I wake up and don%u2019t dread the day ahead. I feel human again, this is amazing. Only side effect I%u2019ve noticed is I%u2019ll occasionally have a dry mouth but it%u2019s very minor. Highly recommend!" | 10 | January 22, 2016 | 94 | 193 |
26,912 | Insulin degludec | diabetes, type 1 | "I have been on tresiba since June of 2015. After a couple weeks I adjusted fine to tresiba and love it. However in September of 2015 I began to develop stomach problems. At first I didn't think anything of it, however it has only become worse over time. I had a colonoscopy done in June of 2016. Dr found nothing wrong. Also had a MRI done later last summer in which I had to drink a dye. Once again found nothing wrong. June of this year I had a upper endoscopy and once again nothing was found. I feel like my stomach is going to explode. And I feel nauseous, however have never thrown up. Just wondering if anyone else has had these problems." | 6 | June 26, 2017 | 8 | 124 |
121,411 | Venlafaxine | anxiety | "I have been diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety my whole life. I have been on multiple medicines to try to tame them, and nothing really worked... until now. I got on effexor and immediately felt relief of anxiety. I hadn't felt like that since I was a very small child. It felt like the world was lifted off my shoulders! I couldn't believe the difference! I recommend this medicine to anyone who suffers with anxiety. I tthought all this time that how I was feeling was related to depression, but it wasn't! It was anxiety. I love how I feel now and would love to be a spokeswoman for this medicine. It made me feel so much better! Highly recommend to anyone." | 10 | February 8, 2016 | 31 | 123 |
39,335 | Contrave | weight loss | "On my first week of Contrave. Experiencing some very minor nausea and a "fuzzy" feeling, periodically. Nothing too overwhelming at this point. I'm hoping to lose weight for my sons wedding in April. I probably should have started this last year. But I'm determined. My cravings during the day are way down but at night they seem to increase. I'm hoping that as I incorporate my evening dose that will come to an end. Wish me luck!" | 6 | January 29, 2017 | 25 | 77 |
160,696 | Buspirone | anxiety | "F-Age 60. I have taken Buspar for 20 years, starting in 1992, age 40. I would go off for 3 yrs after being on for 3 yrs. I had horrible relapse of anxiety, would have to go back on. Now I have been on for 6 years without stopping at 5mg 3-times a day. I love Buspar and plan to stay on for life without stopping. I have done things that I could never do without the Buspar, like hiking the grand canyon at age 58, just driving there would have given me panic, and even day to day stress. I will take my chances with long term, better than feeling sick daily, not being able to eat, sleep or leave the house, no way to live. Side effects for me slight dizziness.

197,947 | Metoprolol | migraine prevention | "After trying imitrex and tylenol and countless other medications for what seems to be hormone related migraines. Even if they worked for a short time the rebound effect was awful. I have found it very difficult to get a physician to give me a one time dosage of metropolol. One small dose cures me. American doctors refuse to give me the prescription. I finally had to go to another country to obtain the prescrption.I absolutely hate the American medical system. I pay a fortune for insurance only for them to not care for me. I am discusted by our greedy, price fixed, non caring medical system. Why can we not get rid of our awful, overpriced, ineffective medical system? Big pharma bribes physicians with fancy coventions." | 9 | January 26, 2016 | 24 | 126 |
22,295 | Baclofen | migraine prevention | "I have had migraines for 6 years and have tried every medication from, Topamax to Zonegran to Depakote. Since I've started taking baclofen 20mg x 3 times daily, 6 months ago, I have had one breakthrough headache and even then I was able to function. I'm not saying baclofen is the "perfect migraine prevention medicine" but for me, it's been my miracle pill." | 10 | August 28, 2011 | 59 | 63 |
198,962 | Depo-Provera | abnormal uterine bleeding | "Horrible bleeding after getting fixed so I would no longer require birth control. Right after surgery they said if bleed and I did but now almost 4 months later I'm still bleeding. And the doctors say this is normal! I'm cramping and my sex life has been ruined because of this drug it's made me not even care to even have sex or even want it at all. This is the worst decision I've made besides an arm implant for birth control.(implanon) it cause me to have such a high blood pressure I lost my job because they were afraid id have a heart attack and not be able to help someone as a lifeguard." | 1 | June 22, 2016 | 0 | 115 |

144,528 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I've had nexplanon since February of 2015. I got it for birth control but more importantly to try to regulate my periods because they were so painful and heavy for me in the past. The side effects I've experienced is the irregular periods. It made my periods lighter and less painful but they lasted longer. I bled off and on for nearly two months so I went to the doctor and they put me on the pill to attempt to regulate my period. It worked for a little bit but now they're back to being irregular but they aren't as long as they were. I also experienced a pain at the insertion site and still do occasionally. Emotional side effects I've experienced would be mood swings and sometimes sadness. All of my symptoms are tolerable. I'm glad I got it." | 8 | March 23, 2016 | 2 | 140 |
212,126 | Lamotrigine | bipolar disorde | "I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder about a year and a half ago. I know this is not the same as Bipolar, however we do experience similar mood swings with high intensities. Three years ago I started taking Wellbutrin. It really helped and I thought I found my "miracle" medicine. However, the efficacy wore off after about a year. I started feeling those desolate "lows" again, and became discouraged with my mind all over again.
Once I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, my psychiatrist suggested this medication. She was really good about easing me into the medication, starting with low doses and working me up from 25mg a day to 100mg a day. I am happy to report that I have not had an episodes of the horrific depression as a before!" | 9 | July 23, 2014 | 26 | 134 |

137,519 | Isotretinoin | acne | "I was put on Accutane when I was 16 after using every acne medication the doctors prescribed and everything over the counter. Immediately I noticed a difference and my self esteem soared. I think I did the best one can do on it. The only thing I noticed was my lips got dry quicker, but I just carried Chapstick with me. It was my miracle drug and I couldn't thank my parents enough for putting me on it.
I'm 23 now and I get an occasional breakout here and there but it's not cystic and painful anymore, it's 2 or 3 pimples. I recommend it to anyone who is sick of their embarrassing acne." | 10 | July 11, 2009 | 27 | 114 |

The Concerta was going great however, he developed odd behaviors like making noises and zoning out. He started Intuniv a month ago. His blood pressure dropped really low which attributed to him being very tired. We gave it to him at night and he still woke up groggy and very sleepy. Throughout school he was dazed and tired. He didn't find anything to laugh about and seemed out of it. During the third week (the 3mg dosage) his therapist took him off. Within 3 days he was laughing and having getting back to normal.

149,911 | Soma | muscle spasm | "I have suffered from many ailments in the past few years one of which was sliding on black ice while working hitting my neck and back on a metal step to my bucket truck. The muscle spasms I get are just awful...muscles twisting and foot looks deformed when it happens. Soma is the only medication that gives any kind of relief...I take it sparingly as not to become dependent upon it.

Some months I would experience cramps, or breast tenderness that I never had before being on it. It also made me gain weight and increased my anxiety and depression. However, the past few months my side effects have worsened just before my period. Depression and anxiety gets really bad for 1-2 days and I started vomiting.

I switched from Lo loestrin FE because I would get two periods on that (one in week 2 of active pills and one during the placebos) and my doctor said I needed to up my estrogen dose. I was so nervous to start this because of various negative reviews, but I'm almost finished with my first pack and I've had no horrible side effects at all. The first week there was mild bloating and I've had breast tenderness (more than usual) but other than that it's regulated my bleeding and I've gotten no other side effects!

82,547 | Liraglutide | obesity | "Been on Victoza for 6 weeks now (along with Metformin) for insulin resistance and weight loss. Have lost 17 pounds so far, 25 more to go. Started taking the Victoza in morning and had nausea 8-10 hours after injecting. Switched to taking it at 4 or 5 pm and now sleep through nausea. Definitely suppresses appetite. Feel satisfied eating like a normal "thin" person now. Have more frequent headaches but ibuprofen takes care of that. Very thankful to my gynecologist for sending me to an endocrinologist for help. It's so liberating to think my weight problems are not just because I'm weak and have no will power! There's a physiological reason it's been so hard for me to lose weight! Very happy with this medicine." | 9 | June 14, 2010 | 185 | 125 |

I was taking them prior to my knees being replaced and still take them for hip pain. The only negative side effects I've noted is occasional constipation, which is consistent with any narcotic. I take 3-4 every day, but I have begun to notice that they are not as effective as before. I'm sure I'm developing a tolerance to them also. But I would recommend them for chronic pain for anyone who can tolerate them." | 8 | July 17, 2010 | 29 | 98 |

Before I started my counts were over a million and they are only down to 800,000. So for me this isn't working. The side effects and losing days to headaches are not worth taking it." | 1 | January 15, 2017 | 3 | 56 |

My problem really hasn't been eating too much, it has always been lack of energy and exercise. I have more energy and have picked up the pace. I take the stairs instead of the elevator at work. Small things, but it's been successful so far. I don't crave food any more. I really have to make myself eat.
12/23/15 - Update. Down to 288 (32 pounds in 12 weeks). 1 to 2 pounds each week now. When I drink protein shakes for breakfast I lose more that week. The protein is vital. Eating low-carb and high protein seems to work best for me." | 10 | December 23, 2015 | 69 | 120 |

with Prozac was at the end of 20
years, I started getting terrible, horrible, headaches. So
bad that I would cry! I no longer can take any SSRI's and or any benzodiazepines. I think maybe after so many years your body isn't able to tolerate it. I began having severe breathing problems! I'm now on the trial & error time again, which most of us know that it isn't fun. Good luck to everyone." | 8 | March 6, 2014 | 85 | 117 |

It gave me my life back without making me feel 'buzzed'. I also haven't had to increase my dosage over the years. You don't develop tolerances with this like you would with the other narcotics.

I also suffer from depression, but refuse to be medicated directly for it (specifically SSRI's) after dealing with Paxil and the horrible withdrawal I experienced 8 years ago. So recently I was prescribed 30mg Doxepin in addition to my Zolpidem (Ambien) for my insomnia. My insomnia has slightly improved, but more pronounced has been the reduction in both occurrence and severity of my anxiety (within the first week) and depression (after about 3-4 weeks). It's been about 6 weeks since I started the doxepin and haven't noticed any negative side effects besides some dry mouth/eyes, which is far outweighed by the benefits I've received." | 9 | February 27, 2013 | 81 | 116 |
59,807 | NuvaRing | birth control | "I absolutely love the ring. I don't have any side effects and it's so easy to only remember to take it in/out once a month compared to a pill everyday. My partner says that it is noticeable during foreplay but that he can not feel it at all during sex, nor can I. It has came out two maybe three times before during sex but you can just put it right back in so its not a big deal. I really do love this BC and I would recommend it 10/10 times." | 10 | March 27, 2016 | 6 | 92 |

I've also wanted to remain proactive about my care and always want to remain well. Stribild was the best choice for me, it did not interfere in any way with my daily outreaches or HIV peer support that I do, nor did it slow me down from my passion for photography and art. There are no side effects that I can speak to and right away my T-cells climbed back to well over 1100 and my viral load was undetectable in just three weeks." | 10 | February 11, 2014 | 15 | 114 |

The first few weeks of taking Chateal were okay, I started to get more and more anxious as time went on and by the fourth week of taking this birth control I had a major panic attack/mental breakdown that sent me to the ER, I thought I was having a heart attack. I had numbness in my legs, arms and face. My other symptoms were major mood changes including depression and anxiety, loss of interest in life/suicidal thoughts, tightness in chest, trouble sleeping, nightmares, sleep walking, and the irritability and anger/sadness. It was terrible. " | 1 | August 9, 2015 | 7 | 103 |

My face acne has been considered mild, but my acne on my back and chest is moderate to severe. They tried many oral and topical medications, creams/gels on me. Nothing worked. Then finally the last dermatologist I found, he prescribed me to Bactrim 160/800. I can't remember how long I was on it the first time before it kicked in and started working, but I was on it for 2-3 years with absolutely perfect skin. I recently got pregnant and had to stop taking it. My acne slowly came back. Now, I had my son a month ago. My acne is back and is awful. I was able to get prescribed Bactrim again 2 weeks ago (apparently it's safe while nursing). I'm still anxiously waiting for it to kick in.. But I have hope, and know it will.

I didn't notice much difference but I imagine the ZMT works faster as it disperses in the mouth. With this abortive, as with many, it works best if you take it 'during onset of migraine'. This is an issue for me because sometimes at onset I'm not sure if it will actually develop into a migraine, so I don't take it and then I am in agony two hours later, even with two doses, which are not/hardly effective since I've missed onset." | 9 | June 17, 2009 | 4 | 104 |
13,863 | Bydureon | diabetes, type 2 | "I have only been taking this medicine for two weeks and I love it. My sugars went down right away. from 224-295 to 146-185. I am sure that it will keep going down, My last A1c was 10.6, I can not wait to see the next one. I have some nausea on the day after and a little on day two, but nothing that is horrible. I am still able to eat and I have never thrown up. As for the nodules I rub the area really well after the shot and I do not have any. I use the top of my leg right about my knee and have not had any problems with that either. I love this medicine." | 9 | March 4, 2016 | 16 | 121 |
169,170 | Bacitracin / neomycin / polymyxin b | bacterial skin infection | "I had burned my arm with a curling iron on Saturday and within a week I had put Neosporin on at least 8 times a day to keep my burn moist and I was also using bandages to help keep it on during work and at bed time. My arm had become swollen and it itched a lot. I thought the itching was due to it healing. I decided to go the doctor due to the swelling. The swelling was approximately two inches by three inches. Well come to find out I was using too much Neosporin and using it longer than you should. The doctor said I have Cellulitis and I have to take the antibiotic Keflex for 10 days to get rid of it. Always see the doctor first." | 3 | October 3, 2011 | 26 | 131 |
224,404 | Levothyroxine | underactive thyroid | "I was started on Levothyroxine 3 weeks ago, due to Hypothyroidism. This is the first time I have been on any medication for my thyroid, and I already feel so much better. I'm only on the 0.05 dosage right now, which I feel is going to be upped because I'm still not feeling 100%. I have noticed that I have more energy, am less hungry therefore eating less before. I feel full, I can stay up all day (6am-11pm) with no naps, and I'm generally in a better mood. I've started losing weight, probably because I actually have energy and motivation now.
