133,359 | Tri-Sprintec | 3</span> users found this comment helpful. | "I've been on this pill for 5 months now. I never had the greatest skin, but it was never horrible either. After the first month on Tri-Sprintec, I noticed my acne getting worse and worse. Right along the jawline and neck and even back! And, I'm talking huge cyst like pimples that hurt! They always clear up the last week on the placebo's but flare right back up again as soon as I start a new pack. Obviously, birth controls vary on the individual. My friend is on Tri-Sprintec and her skin is looking better than it ever did." | 3 | August 25, 2010 | 3 | 99 |
29,013 | Lexapro | depression | "I have been on 20mgs of Lexapro for about 2 months now. I love it! I went from crying everyday and wanting to kill myself to being a normal person. It also relieved some of my social anxiety. I would definetly recommend it." | 9 | April 27, 2008 | 129 | 43 |
172,638 | Clonazepam | anxiety | "Put me in ICU loss of sense of danger and lots of black out, auditory hallucinations, loss of the ability to control my own movements (body made own actions without me even thinking of doing that) like being trapped in your own body but your body is a prison so you just watch your self doing all these things and you have no way to stop it was on 0.5 for five days" | 1 | November 10, 2015 | 4 | 73 |
158,950 | Methylphenidate | adhd | "My son was taking the 54mg for 8yrs when all of a sudden he started to get severely depressed and thoughts of hurting himself. He was immediately taken off the Concerta. I had read about the side effects but it seem to be a small percentage of children getting this.
Make sure you read ALL side effects and the long term usage on how it will effect your child." | 5 | February 25, 2008 | 159 | 69 |
231,330 | Trazodone | insomnia | "I've been taking trazadone for about 4 years. I started because my mind would not settle down enough at night to allow me to go to sleep. Trazadone @50mg doesn't knock me out or make me so sleepy I can't stay awake but it absolutely settles my mind enough that I can lay down and sleep.
Yes I'm a little groggy when I first open my eyes but within an hour I'm wide awake and looking forward to another nights sleep." | 8 | May 24, 2017 | 61 | 81 |
84,737 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | acne | "I was put on Sprintec in order to control my acne. It wasn't too bad until about the third week of my first pack. I began bleeding, and it wasn't spotting, more like a full on period. This lasted for 2 weeks. My periods have become much heavier, & my cramps are worse than before. As for my acne, it has gotten considerably worse. I am on my third pack, & I am completely unhappy with this pill." | 1 | June 16, 2016 | 1 | 78 |
138,304 | Orthovisc | osteoarthritis | "I have knee osteoarthritis. Medium to severe, with severe meaning I need to go down stairs one at a time.
I am an active tennis player and have been for over 40 years. I am almost bone on bone. I did not feel the discomfort of the shots were any big deal. A little pinch or pressure, but nothing really.
I made a concerted effort not to play tennis during the four week period of the injections. After the fourth week, my knee pain went from a 7 to a 2. I was amazed and could walk down stairs with NO pain.
A week later, buoyed by how great my knees felt, went out and played three hard sets of doubles. Some discomfort after playing. Maybe up to a 4 in pain.
Played a couple more time and now I feel like I am right back where I started." | 6 | November 19, 2014 | 51 | 149 |
54,161 | Naloxegol | constipation, drug induced | "I have sensory neuropathy and have been taking to opioids for chronic pain for 7 years. For six years I had continuous constipation and had to do use two bucket enemas per week. I tried movantik for 4 weeks and there was no effect. I tried Amitiza also for 4 weeks, and there was no effect. My GI said both must be taken. Now I have not had to have a bucket enema for six weeks, it's fantastic to be almost normal as far as bowel movements go." | 10 | September 21, 2017 | 4 | 88 |
162,679 | Terconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "Terazol 3 works for me every time especially if I have to take an antibiotic for a UTI. Diflucan does not always work. No side effects expect maybe the first day, I get a little slight burn but goes away pretty quickly and the medicine starts working immediately. After 48 hours I feel great, but take day 3 application and it feel 100% cured." | 10 | April 30, 2017 | 2 | 64 |
117,257 | Robaxin-750 | muscle spasm | "I have been taking this medication for about 3 months now, hoping something will change and it will start to help me, but it's not. I've also been taking ibuprofen along with it. But I still have a lot of pain. My right hip is so much worse then the left. All I want is relief. Even a little bit, I would rejoice." | 2 | November 15, 2017 | 1 | 63 |
228,104 | Etonogestrel | birth control | "I'm on my second implant. The first was brilliant had hardly any periods, just a tiny bit of spotting. A year ago I had my first removed after 3 attempts at finding it, it was eventually removed after a scan. My second has been completely different. After about 6 months I've started having light periods or spotting which hasn't ceased in the last 2 months. If no improvement I may consider removal." | 5 | July 9, 2010 | 1 | 72 |
120,212 | Astepro | allergic rhinitis | "Astepro has been a blessing to me. I have been a long time allergy sufferer. An ENT suggested regular dose of Allegra, Fluconase and Singular, plus I started allergy drops to begin building my immunity. This medicine regime seemed to bring everything more under control, except I began having a terrible cough it was more than a year and I finally told him I needed to do something about it. I had previously tested negative for asthma, but we tried an inhaler and Astepro (instead of the other nose spray). Wow, instant relief from the regular coughing due to the Astepro, the inhaler seemly offers nothing. I recommend this for coughing from post nasal or other allergy problems." | 10 | April 10, 2014 | 22 | 118 |
178,783 | Victoza | diabetes, type 2 | "I have been using Victoza for 5 weeks. Weight loss has been good but my sugar levels are dropping, but not as fast as have read about anyone else having the same results." | 9 | February 18, 2014 | 19 | 33 |
127,310 | Melatonin | insomnia | "First time didn't make me sleep and I felt nausea and dopey all the next day. A tried it months later one night and got severe head aches and didn't make me sleep." | 1 | October 19, 2016 | 11 | 33 |
153,948 | Vivitrol | opiate dependence | "I have had the shot several times in the the past but that has been over three years ago and I did have some side effects. The worst was vomiting in the morning but it lasted about an hour after I woke up. It lasted for 2 weeks everytime I got the shot. It has been 3 years and I started the shot again. I got the shot 3 days ago and I have one swollen lymph node under my neck and my stomach is messed up with craps but it cramps I have never felt. They hurt but only in the morning and I don't get sick. They are not that bad. I know one thing that sucked is my anxiety has increased which is a problem for me and kind of scary. The shot is a good idea even with the side effects, its 1000 times better than being dope sick." | 7 | February 18, 2014 | 65 | 153 |
151,424 | Chantix | smoking cessation | "I started back up once. Then went back on Chantix 6 months later. The second time I just forgot to smoke. Family members pointed out I had not smoked all day. I have NO thoughts of smoking. And I am actually disgusted by the thought.
I smoked for 20 years. And now my nicotine receptors have been totally reversed. I think Chantix is incredible. I had no side effects. Thank you Chantix." | 10 | November 16, 2016 | 21 | 72 |
75,105 | Periogard | gingivitis | "I have had Gingivitis and very deep pockets for quite some time now. My gums would bleed when I flossed, brushed and used my water pick. Nothing I did worked. I had gum surgery also and the bleeding continued. On a visit to my Dentist I was given Periogard to try and within 10 days of using this product the bleeding completely stopped. I was amazed to see how this product worked to kill the germs that cause my Gingivitis. I do have some tooth staining but I can live with that. My teeth feel much better and the taste of blood from bleeding is gone. Saying I'm very happy with Periogard would be an understatement. For me Periogard is my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I just wish my dentist recommended this to me sooner." | 10 | April 29, 2012 | 61 | 140 |
177,363 | Duloxetine | chronic pain | "I developed a chronic pain syndrome post chole 25 year ago. My pain waxed and wained. Pain medication did nothing. The only thing that helped a little was muscle relaxants. My doctor suggested cymbalta. The effect was immediate. I just thought I was having a good week. I took 30 mg daily (lowest dose). The pain never returned. I still have muscle stiffness but the pain associated with it is gone. I have an arthritic thumb from an injury that still causes me pain. So for arthritic pain it does not seem to help. All I can say is give it a try. The effects for me were immediate." | 8 | November 5, 2016 | 52 | 109 |
54,214 | Naloxegol | constipation, drug induced | "It's a complete contradiction, on one hand it'll make you go for sure, till it's running down your legs in the middle of the night. On the other hand it only works as a fast acting medication. So you get to go thru the cramping, sweating, irritation, withdrawals and panic every time you want to go. I took my second pill a few weeks ago and posted the effects here. I haven't taken anymore but am still having all of these side effects every time I have to go.???? I thought I would be over all this by now. I'm miserable along with sleeping legs....." | 1 | November 21, 2016 | 14 | 105 |
94,634 | Abilify | depression | "Been on the drug for a few months now put on 2 stone and not happy about the weight at all as always have battled with my weight. Everyone says they have noticed the difference in me but think it's just the weight that's getting me down." | 1 | May 12, 2016 | 13 | 47 |
80,123 | Benzonatate | cough | "Was prescribed this for violent cough and bronchitis. Works for maybe an hour but I cannot take this during the day because it makes me sooooo drowsy. I want to be able to take it more but I took one pill and almost slept for a straight 24 hours." | 3 | December 24, 2016 | 8 | 49 |
101,837 | Terbinafine | tinea pedis | "Never works for me. N.B. I am talking about the ointment. It goes on greasy, is generally a nuisance, and then over the next couple of days the skin on top of my foot gets progressively puffier. The greasiness cannot be overstated. This makes the itching worse and you have to wear sandals even after you've quit using it." | 1 | July 9, 2017 | 1 | 59 |
161,237 | Dapagliflozin / metformin | min) | "age 51, male. A1C was well over 10 when starting Xigduo. along with high blood pressure. Cholesterol was fine. Started both an ace inhibitor and and Xigduo at the same time. I would argue I don't have most constant diet, but I exercise a lot; very active. Swim 2000 yards a few times a week and ride more than 20 mi on bicycle at very high sustain heart rates
As of my last doc apt, A1C was 6.7. morning blood sugar measures 82-90 consistently. BP is now below or at pre-hypertension. Mood is normal (i.e., not the impatient grump ALL the time, lol) and my physical fitness level and endurance seems peak right now. I do have to watch if I don't eat regularly; feels like I drop pretty easily in those situations. I imagine the dose will be lowered" | 9 | August 17, 2016 | 17 | 140 |
83,873 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I can say this really wasn't the right pill for me. I'm 20 years old and I have a one year old daughter, so I decided that I wasn't really for anymore babies and I wanted birth control. Well my insurance got cut so I went to the county because a friend said I could get free birth control. They gave me 3 months worth of this one first and after I finish the last month they want me to come back for a check up. I have had severe anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember and I was just starting to be able to manage it on my own. I'm almost done with the first week on my second pack and I have absolutely no desire to do anything anymore. It's almost too hard to get out of bed. If you have anxiety/depression be careful!" | 1 | November 4, 2017 | 0 | 150 |
200,998 | Zoloft | social anxiety disorde | "I started taking Zoloft about 4 years ago, prescribed because I have always had a lot of social anxiety and was in a lonely place. Started with 50mg then went back to docs after 4 months and he increased me to 100mg. I was on 100mg for a year but decided to come back down to 50mg as at times I felt a bit too groggy on 100mg, plus I struggled with sex - had no desire really, felt a bit of a zombie. I also saw a therapist every week for a year, but stopped that because I felt we reached a dead end and it was a waste of money. So 4 years later I'm still pretty lonely, still have mild depression which comes and goes and still struggle a bit with people. However I would say all of the bad stuff is about half as intense thanks to Zoloft/Sertraline" | 8 | August 20, 2017 | 5 | 152 |
86,936 | Latuda | bipolar disorde | "I have type 2 BP along with many other things and I do say I love this RX. It helped me out for a very long time one of the first and few. However I did feel very dulled emotionally. I was on 140mg daily but any does lower did not work. I could not even cry unless something absolutely tragic (Ie. Death or someone I loved getting hurt) happened in my life. Also I hated having to take it with food. I constantly had an upset stomach as I could never seem to get eating and taking the med right. So all in all I took myself off from the med and the withdrawls from it were hell. For about two weeks I felt like I was dying. So as a conclusion; this med does work and work well if you like being a robot who vomits." | 7 | January 31, 2017 | 21 | 148 |
43,570 | Hydromorphone | pain | "Was given this drug while in the hospital. Had severe tonsilitus and could not eat, drink, speak or breathe. A shot in the IV and then flushed with saline! What a relief!!! Worked instantly! Even though it doesn't make you sick like morphine, I still vomited when I got home after a dose two hours earlier." | 10 | May 14, 2008 | 23 | 56 |
68,764 | Medroxyprogesterone | endometriosis | "I have been on Provera 10mg for almost 3 months now. My first monthly period was painful and heavy. My second was a regular plus I clotted a lot. With my 3 rd cycle I only spotted off and on for 3 days. I haven;t seen a cycle since. Besides the cramps and the spotting every now and then. I highly recommend this medicine. I have to take provera 10mg daily for 6 months to remove pre cancerous cell off my uterus. I have a 12yrs old son and now me and my husband are praying for another child which will be his first biological child. Has anyone besides me missed a cycle while on Provera. I have taken two home pregnancy tests a week apart and they both said the same thing ( Negative)" | 8 | November 8, 2016 | 3 | 135 |
216,432 | Sildenafil | erectile dysfunction | "Other than an occasional headache, no significant side effects. Viagra works fairly well for me but just not consistently. I almost always get hard - REALLY hard.....but the erection doesn't last if foreplay is extended. So by the time I'm ready to penetrate, it isn't always stiff enough. As a result, I feel pressured to rush through sex with my boyfriend. Also, the price is absurd. The drug companies sure know how to play the game to delay generics from getting on the market. I understand the need to appease shareholders but there should be a better way than by gouging consumers." | 6 | October 21, 2015 | 29 | 102 |
159,709 | Bactrim | acne | "Bactrim has been very effective for me, and I've taken it on and off for seven years. I have had no serious side effects (at least none which manifested as of now), and the Bactrim does a good job of controlling my acne. Side effects are a big deal in acne medication (Accutane dried my skin and tetracycline caused ear ringing). While I occasionally get a breakout while on Bactrim, the severity and frequency of the acne has decreased. On a side note, I've found my acne is most well behaved with a low or no dairy diet." | 9 | June 8, 2017 | 8 | 98 |
106,748 | Implanon | birth control | "Im 27 yrs old mother of 2 and I've had the implanon for a yr and a half and the first week my mood swings were crazy, I was crying uncontrollably at times...when I got the implant I was 105 never had any weight issues in my life, now I hungry all the time, I never feel full or satisfied, I'm now 122 and I'm not happy about it..I wanted to wait the 3 yrs before removing it because it costs so much but Im considering taking it out very soon...also since being on this I have a full 7 day period every other week and I went to the doctor about it and all they wanted to do was pit me on the low low estrogen daily pill, I'd I was any good at taking a daily pill I wouldn't have gotten the implan js." | 3 | May 27, 2015 | 4 | 146 |
96,605 | Sertraline | postpartum depression | "As well as having Borderline Personality Disorder, I have had severe post-partum depression. I have found Zoloft to be very helpful regulating my moods, and keeping the demons at bay. Happy Trails." | 9 | September 24, 2008 | 36 | 32 |
129,829 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I just got my IUD installed yesterday, the placing of it was so painful for me. My doctor said the that usually it hurts more when you haven't had a baby before, the cramping feels like a slight contraction, that's what he described it as. That kinda made me feel like not wanting kids anymore - not going to lie. Today is day 2 with it and I feel cramping for a few seconds come and go. He said I will feel cramping as my body adjusts to it. So far so good, other than the placement and the cramping, I have seem to lost my appetite.... im the type that would eat every 20 minutes and as soon as It was placed my sense of hunger was gone. I'm not sure if it has to do with the cramping or the IUD but hopefully it stays like" | 8 | May 5, 2015 | 4 | 148 |
146,002 | Suboxone | opiate dependence | "I've been on pain meds to treat very serious hip and moderate back issues for 15 years, ~8 years 24/7 and 365 days of the year on them. I've taken literally everything: morphine, fentanyl, opana, ketamine, etc and due to moving I had to find a new pain doc and he asked me to try suboxone. I've been on a 24mg/day dose for 3 days and it treats my pain 75% as well as the previous methadone/oxy combo I took before this. It makes me feel very out of it, have a hard time thinking clearly, get frequent headaches, have no appetite, no urge to use bathroom (#1 or 2, even when I need to), and can go from zero to super irritable in an instant. Overall not working well.
PS: A medical condition requiring opiates means you're DEPENDENT not ADDICTED! Big difference folks!" | 5 | June 20, 2015 | 43 | 144 |
26,219 | Sprintec | birth control | "I suffer from severe depression and anxiety, this actually curbed it for me. Instead of being depressed everyday, it cut it down to a week. It balanced out my periods. But, on the down side they were heavy for the first few days with strong fatigue and cramps. I had spotting the first month. My emotions were great the first 9 months. Once that Mark hit I started to spiral. I was over emotional and cryings over just about anything. My feelings were so amped up. I stopped taking it and I felt normal a few days later. I stopped and started a new one which honestly made me feel absolutely nothing. I felt like a sociopath. I'm back on it, hoping for good to decent results. Just remember, every one is different. Try it for a few months." | 7 | August 1, 2016 | 5 | 139 |
230,972 | Milnacipran | ibromyalgia | "I switched to Savella from Cymbalta and have been taking it for less than a week. I am currently on the 25 mg twice daily dose in the titration pack. This medicine significantly helps with my pain and I do not have the cloudiness in thought that I did on Cymbalta, but that's where the good ends. Every night I have the most vivid, terrifying nightmares of my life and I wake up completely drenched in sweat after only a few hours of sleep. Sometimes when I wake up, my entire body is numb, I am paralyzed, and I experience visual hallucinations. I have lost all motivation to do my daily activities and I spend most of the day napping. I am getting tremors and occasional involuntary muscle movements. I have severe constipation and no appetite." | 2 | December 23, 2010 | 14 | 136 |
163,169 | Carac | keratosis | "Keratosis on my scalp is an ongoing problem...Carac proved to be a great treatment to remove these unsightly pre-cancerous growths...On it for a two week treatment period...No pain, just some small patches of redness...The only problem I have with this medicine is the outrageous cost for a tiny tube. Be certain to wash hands immediately if you apply it that way, or even better use a cue tip." | 10 | March 27, 2015 | 41 | 68 |
9,905 | Lo Loestrin Fe | birth control | "This is my first month of using this birth control I haven't had a period yet. I'm broke out in bad acne having mood swings and depression, which I don't like. I stay angry at everybody. I'm on my last week of the pill I'll never take this pill again." | 5 | September 2, 2014 | 25 | 50 |
164,913 | Phentermine / topiramate | weight loss | "Started Phentermine 37.5mg/ Topiramate 50mg back in Jan 2013. Lost 50lbs in 2.5 months. 75 all together. Drastically watched what I ate and worked out 6 days a week. The lack of memory/concentration weren't enough to make me stop but very noticable. I also get neuropathy (pins&needles feeling in my feet, hands and nose). I went from 225, size 18 to 150, size 6. 65 of those lbs found their way back in 1.5 yrs. Starting again... but I know I dont have the same motivation I did before.... :( Definitely works better if you put in effort!" | 8 | June 9, 2016 | 18 | 98 |
178,051 | Duloxetine | pain | "My new pain doctor put me on Cymbalta a few weeks ago. I took 30 mg 1x per day for a week, then increased the dosage to 60mg 1x per day. I have post thoracotomy pain syndrome (nerve and muscle pain) and pain from scar tissue from major abdominal surgery. The Cymbalta works beautifully. I am pain free for the first time since 2006! My next step is to gradually stop taking the opiate pain medications. Two "cons" about Cymbalta--side effects (these have gone away finally after about 5 days)--including nausea, waking up in the middle up the night, sweating and unable to go back to sleep, and some cold sweats in the morning. The second not so great thing is that since there is no generic, I pay a lot for it. My insurance covers it, but still." | 8 | October 28, 2011 | 20 | 139 |
133,974 | Ashlyna | birth control | "First off I'll start by saying that not everyone is the same so this BC will obviously react differently to different people, buying birth control is simply a game where you have to try them all to find one that truly works how you want. So I'm on my 2nd week of this and so far so good! I've had no bleeding, very mild cramps nothing that I can't handle. My main reason for being on BC is obviously not to get pregnant but I have ALWAYS had ridiculous periods. Most of the time I pass out at least 1 time during my cycle, due to cramps so the cramps I've experienced while taking this haven't been nearly as bad as the ones I've experienced so over all super excited about that. Packaging is kinda bulky but I have a big purse so no worries!" | 8 | May 9, 2017 | 2 | 145 |
225,600 | Bupropion | depression | "After the first week I felt more cheerful and energetic. After one month I completely lost my craving for cigarettes. (I was a social smoker, maybe would have five a week. But when I wanted one the cravings were intense). However my blood pressure was elevated 157/110. (I am on lisinopril-HCTZ for that). My sister was sure the bupropion was causing my high blood pressure. After a couple of weeks my smoking cravings came back and my blood pressure was still elevated so I went back on bupropion. Second time around I am super cranky and have a heightened sense of smell, but still crave cigarettes." | 6 | September 9, 2013 | 33 | 106 |
156,708 | Dulaglutide | diabetes, type 2 | "Had to switch to Trulicity when Ins. wouldn't cover Bydureon. T. shot is much easier to use. Lost a few lbs due to nausea. I have stomach pains, gas, constipation, headches bloating & full feeling. My body just aches. I take water aerobics 4 nights a week. Consider myself very active & this has slowed me down in class. Am more tired & really dread having to mow the yard. I did lose about 8-10 lbs. It didn't stop me from wanting sweets or eating. I have been able to back off Novolog completely & cut my Levemir down 10 unit. I take Metformin & Glimperide. My a1c down to 5.9. Had extremely low readings (40's-60's) & dr wants me to bring numbers up now! I will continue to use because it works for sugar but it is rough on the rest of me." | 8 | July 18, 2016 | 14 | 144 |
35,736 | Buprenorphine / naloxone | opiate dependence | "I've been perscribed suboxone in the past & it always worked. Although I wasn't too happy when I started to feel physically reliant( & bc I was not forwarned by anyone). My new doctor wrote me a script for zubsolv. My sub dosage was 16mg daily (2 8mg strips). The first day on zubs was horrible I was in full withdrawal with no effect I even took double what was perscribed bc I thought it might be that & it was low to begin with ( just 2 5.7mg tabs per day) & with no prevail. I suffered for 3 straight days it did not work at all. Finally on day 3 I felt some relief but I'm sure it's just because I was through the worst of my detox. I would not recommend this to anyone for the sole reason it's not worth the risk. It could make you relapse." | 1 | May 19, 2016 | 19 | 151 |
67,885 | Plan B | emergency contraception | "I'm only 18 my boyfriend and I had sex and the condom completely broke. Definitely not ready to have a kid. I took the pill about 1 hour after the accident. I am over the weight limit for sure. I had awful awful stomach pains. Sharp pains. Cramps. Breast tenderness. I was so scared I was pregnant. I stressed for a while and waited for my period. It came! 1 day late!!! I read a ton of reviews because it helped me with the stress. and I never believed everyone when they said don't stress it will be okay. Especially since I'm over the wait limit. But the pill really does work! So thankful for this pill! Now I can go on stress free! I can't tell you to not stress because you will stress about it anyways. but everything will be okay! goodluck!!" | 10 | July 16, 2016 | 15 | 144 |
108,575 | Bupropion / naltrexone | obesity | "I don't know if I would have made it through the side effects if I didn't have a closer friend starting Contrave at the same time. Headache, dizziness, nausea, sleepy but they have all almost gone away. If you can make it through the first 1-2 weeks it gets better. The 20lbs I've lost makes it worth while." | 8 | February 1, 2015 | 113 | 58 |
98,837 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I was on Nexplanon for less than 3 months, bleeding was light but periods lasted for weeks, no weight gain but was unable to lose weight. Dieted, workouts, and even saw a personal trainer yet nothing. I became very hormonal, depressed, and constantly tired. I just had my implant removed this afternoon. For me, having to take a pill everyday is much better then the side effects of Nexplanon." | 2 | February 22, 2013 | 7 | 69 |
122,622 | Linaclotide | constipation, chronic | "I have been taking Linzess for constipation due to being on pain medication, because I have an internal/external bile duct drain that is exchanged monthly. The medication has worked well until today, and I am miserable. This is the first time this has happened." | 6 | February 5, 2016 | 15 | 44 |
163,920 | Methyldopa | high blood pressure | "My doc switched me to it because we're trying to get pregnant, which is a positive thing about the drug. Negative: extreme thirst and facial tics. I was on 3 pills per day and couldn't tolerate the severity of these two side effects so my doc cut me back to 2 pills, which of course isn't as effective but my BP is lower than it would be if I wasn't taking it." | 6 | November 24, 2015 | 4 | 72 |
210,037 | Fiorinal with Codeine | headache | "I have had migraines headaches since I was 25 yrs old and at 71 years old I still have them. They are just as bad now as years ago. I have been prescribed over 47 different kinds of medicine for relief. Also I went to three headache clinics which were a joke/no help-my purse emptied. Some of the medicines I now know are everything from cancer to thyroid medicines were given to me to ease pain. Simply trial and error of the many doctors I saw. A lot of brain scans, x-rays of my head and neck. Finally a doctor prescribed a new medicine on the market called fiorinal and fiorinal-w/codeine for really bad pain. I use the fiorinal/3 and get quick relief if I can take before the vomiting starts. My migraines wake me in the middle of night." | 10 | September 16, 2009 | 58 | 140 |
179,002 | Victoza | diabetes, type 2 | "I have been taking this for three weeks now, blood sugars have never been better. Even see a 69 sometimes after eating! I am down ten lbs so far and hope it keeps going. No real side effects other than one bout of nausea and a feeling of dizziness like I got up to fast. I have cut out nighttime Lantus (30units!) and brought down morning Lantus from 70 units to 50 units. I still take metformin twice a day and one Amaryl once a day but hope to be rid of the Amaryl altogether so (I was taking it 3x a day :). After taking Byetta and not seeing a real difference in sugar lost about 6lbs and coping with the horrible heartburn. I'm loving Victoza except for the cost." | 10 | September 26, 2011 | 9 | 131 |
45,434 | Fluoxetine | depression | "I was on Sertraline for a year but then I stopped taking sertraline because the medication stopped working and this was causing problems to me and my school life. I have now been prescribed Fluoxetine from my Doctor and I have noticed the side effects instantly such as feeling anxious restlessness.
The medication has helped with life at home, me and my mum have been getting on better and not arguing my social relationships have improved to an extent but not inside school that is where I am having the problems. which is a main concern for me.
once I go back to the Doctor in a few weeks time, she expects to see a diary plan of my days and how my mood is changing. I will also explain about my anxieties." | 8 | March 19, 2015 | 5 | 133 |
38,317 | Phenazopyridine | interstitial cystitis | "When my IC flares up (like it did last night when I drank a huge glass of orange juice--big mistake) and I can't sleep because of that horrible ache, one dose of this stuff works for me. I get the maximum strength OTC generic from CVS (Walgreen's has one, too) but even if you have to pay full price for the brand name, it is worth it. I'm so glad I found this drug. I do have a box of thin maxi-pads left over from when I had periods, and since I'm at that age where I leak a bit, I wear these to keep my underwear and bed sheets from turning psychedelic orange." | 10 | July 17, 2016 | 12 | 114 |
40,437 | Savella | ibromyalgia | "I felt relief on day 2 of the titration pack. Savella has been a miracle for me, I am pain free. The only side effect that I am experiencing is anxiety, which is getting better and I hope will disappear. I do wonder, if it is contributing to some of the weakness that I feel, but it is so hard to tell since muscle weakness was a huge problem to begin with. I am grateful for this drug. I'm sorry to hear that many of you are experiencing such side effects. I wish that we could all be pain free." | 10 | February 21, 2010 | 38 | 100 |
159,084 | TriNessa | birth control | "For anyone who has any trouble with anxiety or depression, I HIGHLY suggest you do not try this birth control. I have been on this pill for about a week now and increasingly over the past 5 days I have been nauseated at night and SEVERELY depressed and I mean severely. Crying constantly, overthinking, irritable, mood swings, anxious to no end. I am absolutely without a doubt getting off of this medicine, I am a nursing student who has many responsibilities and cannot deal with having no motivation to do homework. Please try your best to avoid this medication at all costs." | 1 | March 5, 2017 | 13 | 102 |
49,285 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I have anemia and my primary thought she would aid with the anemia be prescribing Camrese to shorten the amount of periods that I have. I thought that would be a Great idea since they, my periods, are a little heavy even with BC. Well the first pack was GREAT. The second pack started of good but by the middle I started spotting. I figured no big deal until I did not stop spotting. I saw my gyne after 2.5 weeks of spotting. She said oh this is your first round. Stick it out and it will be better next round. Well..... Its not! Its the exact same. I have bled more on this than on a monthly pill. I have officially stopped using this pill and I'm waiting for the breakthrough bleeding to end so that I can go back to a normal pill." | 1 | April 12, 2016 | 0 | 145 |
160,841 | Buspirone | anxiety | "I have been taking Buspar for almost a week. My doctor prescribed it for my Anxiety - mainly my constant agitation. I must say that I have been sleeping better and I feel somewhat better. I take Buspar 15mg - Once a day." | 9 | June 18, 2008 | 184 | 43 |
5,082 | Orsythia | birth control | "I've been on this now for a little over a year. At first the birth control worked great for me! I would only have about four day periods and I barely ever had cramps. But starting about three or four months ago, everytime I'm not supposed to be on my period I will start on my first or second week of the pills and will be on it until my month of pills are gone. I'm not sure if it's my bodies way of saying it doesn't like this pill anymore or what.. has this happened to anyone else? I'm going to my gyno soon and I want to either switch my BC or get completely off it." | 2 | January 8, 2016 | 8 | 118 |
77,509 | Cephalexin | bladder infection | "I have a double whammy: I have interstitial cystitis (which feels like a constant bladder infection), and on top of that I'm prone to actual bladder infections. I've learned to be able to tell the difference between a bladder infection and a cystitis flare up. I have A LOT of drug allergies and can not take sulfa drugs or Cipro, which are commonly prescribed for bladder infections. Keflex has been the ONLY antibiotic that I can take that doesn't give me any side effects AND gets rid of the infection. It's saved my bacon on numerous occasions. I also prophylactically take Acidophilus orally and douche with plain yogurt to avoid yeast infections. It all works like a charm. I have NEVER had a bad side effect from Keflex." | 10 | April 26, 2017 | 32 | 128 |
65,977 | Propranolol | mance anxiety | "OMG..... Thus drug works like a charm! I've feated and failed miserably over the years doing oral reports from pure anxiety- even my head would shake! I recently was " forced" to do a presentation for work and simply cannot believe what a difference inderal made taken 1 hr before speaking. I could actually make eye contact with the audience and my words came out as rehearsed, not jumbled!!! Wish I had this in college- would've saved me lots of Agony. I hope my testimonial can offer hope who harbor this same fear- it's miraculous!!!!!" | 10 | March 25, 2015 | 47 | 95 |

64,405 | Sertraline | anxiety and stress | "I'm a 35 y/o army combat veteran. I have PTSD & one of my biggest challenges is the ANXIETY & PANIC ATTACKS. I was discharged when i was 25, but the anxiety has gotten worse. I can't go into a market, target, mall or even outside when its very sunny. Apparently any stimuli triggers a panic attack for me.
I wish that I had the experiences you guys have with sertraline. I took it for 3 days & it was absolutely unbearable. I was super jittery. I had bad tremors. My hands & fingers could not stay still. I could not sleep. I got mild lockjaw (especially when I yawned). It was horrible.
•••BUT•••
Somehow I did not suffer from any panic attacks whatsoever.
My Dr. took me off that & put me on mirtazapine. Ugh. I need help, seriously." | 3 | August 27, 2016 | 23 | 140 |
113,230 | Bisacodyl | constipation | "I started reading these reviews and panicking because I took FOUR pills and was in horrible pain. The only way to ease it was by puking up a clear liquid that burned my throat like hell. I do NOT recommend this brand!" | 1 | November 30, 2015 | 4 | 42 |
178,834 | Victoza | diabetes, type 2 | "It made me feel sick the 1st month at 1.2mg , queasy stomach, not too bad diarrhea, if there is such a thing as good? The biggest thing I noticed was food did not appeal to me at all. I just did not feel like eating anything. And when I did eat something, I felt full on a few bites. This after about 2 months lead to a 36 lb weight drop and an A1c that went from 7.3 to an A1c of 5.6. I have been on it now for 6 months but no more weight loss or gain. 12hr Fasting Glucose is showing from 75-88. I never see levels above the 120's after meals, even sweets. I think the problem with Victoza is that it works almost too good! I think some people will go off their diets or cheat a lot more because they have such low A1c's." | 10 | January 3, 2015 | 81 | 151 |
179,304 | Olanzapine | borderline personality disorde | "Zyprexa (along with Prozac) worked miracles for me right away. No mood swings, no irritability/anger, no depression, no suicidal thoughts, no impulsivity, I don't feel nearly as cynical, very little emptiness/boredom. Energy is up during the day, Zyprexa helps me sleep. Slight lightheadedness, but nothing troubling. I have my life back." | 10 | December 13, 2014 | 33 | 51 |
85,841 | Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate | birth control | "I was on Sprintec for 3 years. I had no major side effects I thought until recently I stopped taking it so my husband and I can start trying for a baby. About a week and a half off the pill my sex drive sky rocketed! Now I'm realizing that the hormones were suppressing my sex drive. Anyone else had this happen to them?" | 10 | November 2, 2013 | 38 | 64 |

8,594 | Zolpidem | insomnia | "I have been taking Ambien for 2 years now for insomnia and trouble sleeping. It does make you tired, but you also feel really good and happy. I would take it and an hour later, not remember anything. Also, I would still wake up every hour. It helped me fall asleep, but not stay asleep. Recently, I over dosed on Ambien. That is what really woke me up. This is not for me. I have been prescribed Seroquel for my sleeping problems and this is wonderful. I have no more sleepwalking and I remember everything." | 4 | October 20, 2010 | 7 | 95 |
164,436 | Diclofenac | period pain | "Its the best medicine for period pain so far.. I usually experience severe pain in my abdomen .. I take up to 4 pills every 6 hours on my first days.. but to be honest its a magical medicine. I recommend it to every women that cant bare her period pain" | 9 | May 25, 2015 | 17 | 51 |
87,286 | Latuda | bipolar disorde | "I started Latuda about a month ago. Its hard to know if is truly working because I am trying to come off of 300 mg of Seroquel. Whoever wrote Latuda made them restless, this happened to me too so my doctor gave me Cogentin and it worked. I'm still hungry all the time but once I'm off Seroquel I shouldn't be. I also take Vyvanse, Lorazepam, Restoril, and Keppra which is for my seizure disorder. I say Latuda is an 8 so far my paranoia is gone." | 8 | February 12, 2012 | 31 | 87 |
106,946 | Implanon | birth control | "I got my Implanon in May 2011 after my son was born, I didn't have a period for a month after that like normal, then the spontaneous bleeding began ( like I expected, the doctor told me it would happen) but then 2 months passed then 3 then 6! With almost constant bleeding, I called my doctor and she said to give it 6 more months and at the year mark my periods would stop all together, that day came and went but the problem continued. Along with that I have had a non existent sex drive, severe weight gain, acne, depression, anxiety, hormonal and hair loss, getting it out in 2hrs! " | 2 | November 15, 2013 | 27 | 113 |
100,587 | Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol | birth control | "Velivet is great for birth control. I've been on this for almost over two years and have had no problems. Only major problem is that I get angry or upset for no reason the week before my period. " | 4 | December 8, 2010 | 2 | 39 |
6,415 | Ocella | birth control | "This it the first birth control pill that I've been on as I don't necessarily like the idea of hormonal contraceptives. I just started Ocella this month and so far I have bled for 10 days straight (lightly, but I've been used to light periods that last four or five days) and my emotions have been out of control. I normally have light mood swings before my period, but this has been ten times worse and nonstop for the week and a half that I've been on Ocella. I crave junk food 24 hours a day and feel angry or upset about the littlest things.
My skin is pretty clear naturally and I haven't noticed a change in that. My sex drive is about the same. I can't say much else as this is my first month on it but I am not a fan of the super PMS so far." | 2 | January 27, 2012 | 1 | 151 |
86,622 | Invokana | diabetes, type 2 | "I have been taking this medication for almost 2 weeks. I was lucky to be reffered to an endodcrinologist who prescribed it to go with Metformin, glipizide and tradjenta meds. It's working wonders!! My readings have gone from 300's to 115 after lunch etc. I was also referred to a dietician so I've been keeping track of my meals and watching my carbs I've lost 7 lbs since I started the meds 2 weeks ago! Love, love, love this med. Can't wait to see if my A1C had dropped, at last check before I started the meds it was at 9.8%." | 10 | November 6, 2013 | 69 | 101 |
76,483 | Octreotide | carcinoid tum | "After about 18 months of 28 day LAR injections, I started having joint and back pain. I believe this is actually fairly common. I've asked who has this on various support group web sites.... lots of people! One person had it start up after their first injection. However, more respondents had it start after a year or more. The main location of my pain is in the hips. I've been to several ortho doctors who say I do not have but a slight bit of arthritis in my hips- certainly not enough to warrant hip replacement & in the range of an average amount for my age..... the lower back pain started prior to hips.
It has been deduced that the pain must be a side effect of the Sandostatin- after x-rays, bone scans, MRI's, CT-etc.. nothing looks abnormal" | 8 | April 16, 2017 | 1 | 139 |
225,880 | Bupropion | sexual dysfunction, ssri induced | "I was put on 100mg Wellbutrin for PMDD issues, and stayed on it for about three years. I ended up having many side effects, such as added anxiety, horrible headaches, and constipation. Also lost some weight. However, the mood swings stopped, and I have to say sex was never better. Added to my sexual response for sure, and I really miss that part. If not for the constipation and heart flutters, I would have stayed with it." | 7 | October 23, 2010 | 80 | 77 |
207,896 | Suprep Bowel Prep Kit | bowel preparation | "My father was preparing to undergo a colonoscopy and had to take this stuff. He found the taste to be practically unbearable, and had slight cramping but nothing else. He had the urge to go to the bathroom probably after 2 hours of taking the first dose at 6 pm. A tip is use a straw to ingest it quickly and have a gatorade or another clear liquid fluid present to chase it down with. Also try brushing out your mouth afterwards.

103,187 | Estarylla | birth control | "I started taking this on the Sunday when my period started as directed. A few hours after taking the pill my whole body started tingling and I was experiencing insomnia. That night I laid still and try to ignore the tingling but it would build up and one small movement of my foot could make my entire body spasm. I had never felt this before in my life until I started taking Estarylla. I only took the pill twice and decided that I was done with not being able to sleep and constantly feeling tingly. Even after I stopped taking the pill my body was so affected by the pill that it is taking me a few days to finally flush it out of my system. Don't take Estarylla if you have the option of another birth control!!" | 1 | June 15, 2016 | 5 | 138 |
1,710 | Zolmitriptan | migraine | "Been taking Zomig for about a year for common migraines (without aura, I think). I never know if a serious migraine is coming on, but Zomig seems to work for it all. I break the 5mg pill in half at first if it's not bad, then take a whole 5mg pill if I wake up to a headache the next day. My headaches used to last 2-5 days switching sides. Imetrex seemed to work but it made my arms and chest feel heavy. Zomig has less side effects and seems to work just as well. I do have a few side effects, but I associate them with relief so they don't really bother me. A pill will put me out and I'll sleep really well, my skin gets sensitive to temperature (showers will sting a little), and as soon as the headache subsides I'll feel a little euphoric." | 9 | May 20, 2017 | 2 | 148 |
156,477 | Dulaglutide | diabetes, type 2 | "I was on trulicity .75 for two weeks and was just upped to 1.5...my first injection went fine till I woke up next morning with severe body aches in all my joints and having stomach aches and diarrhea. That lasted for about a week. I took second .75 shot and no body aches but still get the occasional stomach ache and still having diarrhea, have to stay close to a bathroom. I lost some weight even tho only been two weeks, but maybe just because I'm on the toilet so much seems more goes out than in. My sugars didn't go down as much as I wanted but are definitely better. So in a few days I start 1.5 I hope this will do the trick." | 4 | July 27, 2017 | 9 | 126 |

10,813 | Mononessa | abnormal uterine bleeding | "I started taking Mononessa around 3 months ago for irregular periods and for birth control. For the first 2 weeks I had stomach aches and changes in appetite. One day I would want to eat everything in site and the next day the thought of food made me ill. I gained maybe 1-2 pounds but after a few more weeks it went back down to normal. My periods are so regular, I know EXACTLY when they'll start and stop. I've had sex without condoms and haven't gotten pregnant. It's very easy to remember, just set an alarm and keep track." | 10 | March 1, 2015 | 7 | 100 |
231,006 | Milnacipran | ibromyalgia | "Worked well in the beginning, felt better than I had in years with the exception of nausea the first couple days. This medicine does NOT sit well on an empty stomach! Cleared up the fibro fog, had not felt so awake in 6 years. This did not last though. Eventually felt normal except minus the fibro fog but with continuous migraines. Felt like I was having PMS constantly. Did not see any relief from pain. Very emotional and cold chills.

106,320 | Implanon | birth control | "I'm from the UK & have tried numerous forms of contraception such as the mini pill and the depot injection but always seemed to forget the pill. I had my implant inserted in January 2016 and up until recently I thought it was great. For the past few months My sex drive is 0. I have had three periods in the space of 4 weeks which vary between heavy and continuous spotting.
I often feel bloated and lack energy, I get home from work and just want to curl up in bed with a hot water bottle on my back to ease the pain. I've had no weight gain but do eat a lot.
This method of contraception of good for preventing pregnancy but be aware of the symptoms linked to it as they often weigh out the positives." | 5 | April 11, 2017 | 3 | 139 |
96,280 | Sertraline | panic disorde | "I have been on Zoloft for a year and I can honestly say it changed my life. I had suffered with anxiety and panic attacks since I was in the first grade, and I hated my life. I felt cursed. I felt weird because of it. It got to a point of hopelessness and depression. I did counseling, exercise, journaling, all-natural vitamins, everything. Nothing helped. I didn't want to rely on medication to help me get through life, but after talking to my doctor, I decided I had to. My doctor put me on a low dosage of Zoloft and I can honestly say, I've never been more calm, focused, content, and determined. Zoloft helped me relax and deal with problems rationally. It changed my life for the better, and recommend it to any teenager who needs help." | 10 | February 28, 2011 | 98 | 138 |

I'm 48 years old and have been treated for bipolar and anxiety disorders from the age 19, have tried dozens of med combinations and have been hospitalized a few times when unable to cope. This last time a therapist suggested it may be ADHD and doctor put me on 40mg... its a night and day difference. I have never in my life had this kind of clarity and focus and other then dry mouth and a bit of a lost appetite side effect which is much better then past combinations." | 10 | February 14, 2015 | 77 | 99 |
219,453 | Dexmethylphenidate | adhd | "This medication has been a God send in some ways. I am an adult executive that suffers from ADD/ADHD and I use the XR version of this on an as needed basis, usually when I have lots of mundane paper work to get through that would never otherwise get done due to my lack of ability to naturally focus on tasks like that." | 9 | April 20, 2009 | 67 | 63 |
60,373 | NuvaRing | birth control | "I love the NuvaRing. I have had some minor side effects but beside all of it I love it. My period has always been regular when I take the Nuvaring off. I been using the Nuvaring about 1/2 a year now, and had not used a protection a couple of times, and the Nuvaring has protected me from getting pregnant." | 10 | May 7, 2011 | 0 | 60 |
8,104 | Zolpidem | insomnia | "Ambien is a lifesaver. No matter how tired I am, I can't fall asleep or stay asleep. With Ambien I sleep all night. I have been taking it for about 3 years but I ONLY take 5mg. I think the mistake people make is they take too much. It's not supposed to drug you and make you pass out. It allows you to fall asleep naturally. No need to increase amount. Try it" | 10 | December 2, 2017 | 3 | 73 |
223,697 | Ciprodex | otitis media | "Ciprodex was prescribed by my ENT doctor in Portland Oregon in January 2008.

139,054 | Phentermine | weight loss | "I took my first phentermine this morning, a 37.5mg tablet. I got the dry mouth later in the day, but still felt some hunger pangs. I probably haven't eaten as much as I should have today either. I've noticed a little more energy, but still took a short nap at 4:30 PM. That's probably because I felt motivated today and walked 1 mile, then later on rode my bike for 11 miles, which really wore me out.
My weight yesterday was 316lbs an all time high. I'm looking forward to becoming much lighter. I should be around 175 pounds. I have a long way to go." | 8 | June 11, 2009 | 4 | 106 |
228,985 | Tadalafil | erectile dysfunction | "I am a pretty fit 60 year old who had been experiencing some Benign Prostate Hyperplasia symptoms and had increasingly noticed a deterioration of sexual performance. I was prescribed 5 mg daily Cialis. It was helping somewhat with the BPH though I decided that the cost to benefit ratio may be far better with another medication.
The sexual performance benefit was another matter entirely and I couldn't be more pleased. The daily 5mg made me feel 30 years younger, the quality of the sex has increased dramatically as I am able to last much longer and ejaculate much better as well. My wife is both shocked and pleased. I am now splitting them in half and have noticed virtually no lessening of its benefit." | 10 | February 28, 2014 | 42 | 124 |
148,060 | Norethindrone | birth control | "A LIFE SAVER. I have never been able to take estrogen combined pills. Always had bad side effects. Once I was put on Camila it was totally different. I had irregular bleeding at first but now all is well. I love this pill. Its the only one my body has tolerated. We are still being careful because of the less efficiency of combined pills. But I give it a 10 because its the only one for me!" | 10 | October 8, 2015 | 14 | 77 |
195,488 | Aviane | birth control | "I've tried many birth control pills, but they all caused severe mood swings and depression. I like the fact that this pill seemed at first to have little to no negative effect on my mood. (I've been on it for 3 years). However, in the past year I began having severe anxiety attacks and was diagnosed with anxiety disorder after I began waking up in the mornings feeling faint and sick to my stomach, laying on the bathroom floor. I constantly feel exhausted and although active, have gained 20 pounds in the past year. I also noticed an increase in my acne the past two years. I think this is because of the birth control. I am switching to the copper iud next week and am so excited because it is hormone free! I hope this helps." | 5 | April 16, 2016 | 1 | 137 |
161,897 | Tazarotene | acne | "I was using the 0.10% strength which helped greatly with clogged pores, blackheads, small pustules. However, I also had cystic hormonal acne, which the cream wasn't effective enough for. I took this in conjunction with spironolactone, but eventually had to take accutane.
Downside of this drug: sun-sensitivity, skin peeling, redness
For the record, it takes weeks to see results, and your acne gets WORSE before it gets better." | 9 | August 2, 2016 | 8 | 68 |
140,602 | Escitalopram | generalized anxiety disorde | "Lexapro has changed my life for the better. When I was in my early 20's, I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety and depression. I took Lexapro for about 15 years until recently weaning off of it because I was feeling great. That was a mistake. Three months after weaning, I started to suffer from severe anxiety and depression, and now have starting taking Lexapro again with the help of a therapist and my doctor who specializes in stress management. The day I went back on Lexapro, I started to feel better. I have been able to sleep and focus on my job and my life has improved greatly. I am convinced that going back on Lexapro saved my marriage and my relationship with my 2 1/2 year old son." | 10 | February 10, 2017 | 51 | 129 |
145,787 | Qsymia | weight loss | "I am a 25 year old female. I'm 5'8" and weighed 240lbs at my heaviest. I tried Qsymia after it was recommended by a family member who has lost 40 lbs on it and I have been on it for exactly a week now. I'm combining it with The 17 Day Diet by Dr. Mike Moreno, which is low fat, low carb, low sugar, and I'm happy to say that somehow in one week I've lost 14 pounds. I know it's mostly water weight but I feel good and I can actually tell that the pill makes me not crave food or feel hungry throughout the day like I used to be, which makes following the diet so much easier. I would recommend Qsymia to anyone. Only side effect is a little lightheadedness the first day or two." | 10 | January 14, 2014 | 108 | 138 |
179,602 | Adapalene / benzoyl peroxide | acne | "It's true. The first two weeks really are horrible. So make sure you don't start this if you have big plans coming up. I broke out in huge spots, my face was red and tender and my skin was flaking off in big pieces. You can not wear make up at this point. If you get cracked corners of your mouth like I did, hydrocortisone 1% really is your saviour. Cleared it up in two days. I moisturised throughout the day with cetaphil and cleansed every morning and night with cetaphil cleanser. Two weeks later, my skin is almost clear. My dryness is almost gone and the scars are fading.
Stick with it. It really works. It just gets worse before it gets better" | 10 | January 31, 2017 | 14 | 124 |
16,462 | Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone | birth control | "I've been on this pill for a little over 4 months now, ever since I started it I have not gotten my period at all, get migraines frequently but no mood swings." | 3 | January 6, 2016 | 7 | 32 |
