0	Birth Control Has anyone on here tried Nuvaring and had an extremely poor experience? I was looking for new BC and my doctor recommended Nuvaring. NEVER AGAIN. EVER. I have only had it in for two days and have felt very nauseous, extremely tired, dizzy, angry, depressed, and have had a terrible headache and cramping. ...
9	Narcolepsy I found myself sleeping all day against my will and it was depressing to be so unproductive. After I was accepted to vet school, I knew I needed to figure out why I was so tired all the time. I was diagnosed with narcolepsy without cataplexy. I immediately started Nuvigil in an attempt to get regulated befo...
5	Bowel Preparation Didn't find it as bad as people say. Not exactly pleasant but it was fine. Very expensive and took 4.5 hours for it to start to work. Working now though. Prep I used for last colonoscopy was just as effective and much cheaper though. Hope this will have done its job fully in time for my early morning...
9	Acne Epiduo is the best solution I've ever come across for my acne. I am 30 and have battled with spots all my life. I was on antibiotics for 3 years as a teenager which made me very unwell and I believe caused lasting gastrointestinal side effects. This cream is amazing and should be tried first...combined with the p...
9	Nocturnal Leg Cramps Best of the ones I've tried for leg pain from spinal injury.
0	Birth Control I hate this pill, extreme depression, breast pain, moody, cry at everything. Do not recommend.
8	Hot Flashes Intense hot flashes all day and night. By the time one started to go away another started.
8	Inflammatory Bowel Disease This is the first drug I was prescribed after hospitalization and initial diagnosis. It made it possible to get off steroids and back to work. Hair loss was extensive, until I increased water intake and saw a renal dietician. Even though I am allergic to Sulfa drugs, this has been the lea...
6	Anxiety I have been taking Pristiq for 2.5 weeks now. I was having very few side effects, lots of yawning initially, but this is improving. I have mild depression and anxiety and OCD (which only acts up when I am stressed) I have been feeling pretty good but the last few days I have had blurred vision and dizziness,...
6	Acne I have had acne since I was 12 and I am now 29. I have tried everything from roaccutane to expensive cosmetic treatments to diets. I was nervous about going on yasmin as I took a pill previously called gedarel for my skin, which made me feel mental. Yasmin did make me feel a tiny bit moody but that was the only s...
6	Major Depressive Disorde I took 60mg per day for over a year. Worked very well until recently. It kept the depression in check, but the anxiety is back in full swing. Don't skip a dose unless you like the zaps.
4	Depression I was depressed for seven months in bed and I was prescribed Viibryd 40mg. After 1 week I started to feel fantastic for at least 3 weeks and now I'm feeling like I'm on the roller coaster again (slightly down). And to top it off I've gained at least 10 lbs. Made me very outspoken about almost everything (s...
8	Rheumatoid Arthritis This medicine worked great! I could walk, jump, run, and do all the things any other teen could do. The negative parts of this medicine include weight gain, headaches, and other serious things like glaucoma (the reason I had to get off, so please get eye exams when on this). The hardest part is ge...
9	Chlamydia Infection found out I was positive, less than 24 hours later I took the 'one time' dose of azithromycin. The 2 500mg tablets went down easily but about 15 minutes afterwards I started feeling a bit hot/sweaty and started getting stomach cramps. Luckily I got home just in time for the toilet, diarrhoea once a...
9	Not Listed / Othe Prescribed for long term dry flaky skin on face. Completely cleared up my skin after first application. No side effects.
4	Bipolar Disorde I started out on 1mg and have moved up to 5mg since having a recent mania with hallucinations. I'm still feeling manic and hearing music and sirens with paranoia. I wish my stability had returned with the steep increase in dose. I'm giving this only a 5 because I don't know yet if it's going to work fo...
3	Birth Control I've been on Beyaz for almost a year, Since them I've gone through times of weight gain and loss which could just be my body's normal function. Recently I have noticed aversions to certain foods, nausea, severe migraines, and lack of sleep. I haven't noticed a change in sex drive. My skin in flawless, bu...
2	Post Traumatic Stress Disorde I was taking 15mg Mirtazapine for anxiety and PTSD before bed for two months. At first it helped with the anxiety and nightmares I was having. Within 30 minutes of taking it I was out. It was very difficult to get out of bed in the morning. The morning drowsy side effects only lasted abou...
0	Birth Control I have read most of these reviews and all have had the same experience that I have had. I have not stopped bleeding since I had it put in 2 1/2 months ago. I am extremely moody and hormonal. It is effective but all of us women should not have to be experiencing PMS symptoms on an every day basis. I a...
9	Depression After 15 years of SSRIs and SNRI's, I was told to consider shock therapy or Parnate. Parnate is a miracle drug as far as I am concerned. At 47, I seem to have the energy that I had in my 20s and 30s. I am taking Ambien to deal with the side effect of insomnia and its working great. For once I seem to be abl...
3	Helicobacter Pylori Infection I went for colonoscopy and Doctor told me I needed endoscopy as well. In two weeks I've got phone call that I have H Pylori infection in my stomach and prescribed Pylera. I was taking 12 tablets a day and 1 tablet of Protonix for 10 days and now I feel much worse than before. Before I was...
9	COPD, Maintenance 32yr old female with copd and asthma. After trying several inhalers Xopenex is the best by far for me. Have experienced no side effects and it significantly opens my airways.
9	Hepatitis C Well, I dont speak english very well but want people know mi experience with zepatier. My first lab before treatment have ALT and AST high, fibroscan F2, viral load over 600000. First week the symptoms were extreme fatigue but better than interferon and Rivabirin. I have depression before treatment but I f...
2	Birth Control Nuvaring was great----while it was in! Once it was time to take it out, I had the most unbelievably horrible period I've ever had! Bad enough that I almost asked my husband to take me to the hospital. I was in excrutiating pain for 2 days, and very uncomfortable for an additional 2 (which is weird becaus...
9	Gastroenteritis I take this occasionally for nausea due to c-diff. It helps a lot just to take a pinch of the 4mg dissolvable pill.
1	Acne After taking doxycycline for a while, my body became resistant to it, so my dermatologist switched me to Keflex for acne. I think I had at least five bowel movements the first day. Eventually, my digestive system became somewhat regular, but then I started getting headaches on a regular basis. It cleared up my ac...
0	Asthma, Maintenance I had to discontinue using this drug after 3 months because it gave me joint pain.
9	Weight Loss I've be taken Adipex since May of 2012. I'm 5'2", and started off weighing at 180 lbs. It's now January 18, 2013 and I weigh a beautiful 145 lbs. I FEEL GREAT!
5	Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation I have taken Pradaxa for a year now. I've had no side effects, and compared to Coumadin it's great. Taking Coumadin, I had to constantly adjust the dosage because I had only one protime in six months that showed the proper clinical result. With Pradaxa, there is ...
9	Pain I had bi-lateral ankle surgery in March and was put on Demerol, which at the time helped. Was given Vicodin for break through pain. Found out I was allergic to the anchor that was put in so had a second surgery in July. This time again given Demerol and Vicodin but did NOT help. Ended up in hospital with shots of...
9	Birth Control This is my third type of birth control, and I was scared to try. The other two left me depressed and overly tired. I have found the side effects of Tri-Sprintec tolerable. 1. My skin has cleared up. 2. I have gained weight as upon starting this birth control I was ALWAYS hungry, but going to the gym ...
7	Depression Diagnosed with depression/anxiety 10 years ago. Have practically been on every SSRI, SNRI, Seroquel, ALL kinds of benzos (do NOT recommend- highly addictive!) I felt so frustrated that none of the anti-depressants were working for me and avoided tricyclics for fear of weight gain. Last week I finally reali...
3	Birth Control I started this birth control maybe a year/ a year and a half ago and everything was great. I was spotting around the first month and then my schedule was back on track. The pill didn't make me gain any weight or give me any other side affects. At first I had very light periods that would last around 3 da...
7	Alcohol Withdrawal Clonidine (Catapres) works great for the hypertension, cold and hot sweats/flashes, headache and overall agitation when undergoing ethanol/alcohol withdrawals. 0.1mg 3 times daily in conjuction with a benzodiazepine like chlordiazepoxide (Librium) or diazepam (Valium) may be needed depending on alco...
7	Birth Control I am just past my 2 year mark with nexplannon and I have mixed feelings about it. After I got it I bled for 2 weeks straight and then it went away. I gained about 15-20 pounds on and off the whole time and the one side effect I get the most is numbness. Specifically numbness in my left knee and my right ...
8	Depression I take a 2.5mg tablet of Selegiline with breakfast and it has helped with depression and fatigue. I cut a 5 mg tablet in half. If I miss the morning dose, I try not to take it any later than noon because it keeps me up at night. I tried 5mg to start but I didn't feel right and had insomnia. I also take a ...
9	Opiate Withdrawal Reading some of the other reviews, some people rate this as a 7 or 8 because it doesn't take away all their withdrawals or restless legs syndrome, etc. Well, we all must have the realization that we must pay the Piper someday. Mine was 2 days ago. After at least months and possibly years, I was ta...
3	Hyperphosphatemia of Renal Failure I have been taking these for about a year. Seems like one month they work and the next they don't. Even though I am eating the same food and same amount of pills. I seriously wonder if some months they are just sugar pills and not the real thing. I seriously question the quality...
5	Helicobacter Pylori Infection Ok, I'm back to share my experience with Pylera. I completed a 10-day dose of 12 pills/day. Glad that I read reviews before begining or else the side effects would've concerned me. From. day 1, I experienced daily nausea even though I ate a small meal with each dose, had a slight head...
1	Birth Control I am 56 and had the Mirena inserted 4 years ago because I'd had heavy continuous bleeding for months. It was Mirena or surgery. The insertion was extremely painful, but the bleeding stopped almost completely within a couple of weeks. I had lots of problems with the strings "stabbing" me in the vagina ...
8	Acne I've been using Bactrim DS for the past 2 months now, and it has definitely cleared up my skin. I plan on using it for another 4 months, and then switching to another antibiotics if need be so I don't build immunity to it.
9	High Cholesterol Zocor 20mg/daay for two months. My sister's lipid level is normal already and no any side effect.
1	Birth Control This birth control gave me the worst anxiety and turned me into a crazy person. Do not take it. Every time it was my off week, I became less anxious and felt so much better. I've been off it for a month now and I'm back to normal and no longer have terrible anxiety.
9	Anxiety Buspar changed my life, no kidding. I have been on Prozac so long, but once Buspar was added my personality came to life. Not that I don't sometimes worry, but it is sooo much better to manage with the Buspar. I am not any kind of spokesperson. I have a friend who it didn't work for, but for me, it has changed...
9	Anxiety and Stress This stuff has really helped me! Before taking it, I was always angry or depressed. Now for once I finally feel relaxed and I'm not so high strung either! I've never been able to just take a break! Finally I can! I wish I took it sooner!
2	High Blood Pressure My BP was 170/110 and was put on 50mg of Losartan Potassium and 6 weeks later my BP was 242/129 and I was sent to the ER and 25mg of Hydrochlorothiazide was prescribed. After one week my BP come down and now stays about 140/100. I take my meds about 5am and I have not experienced any side effects e...
4	Anxiety Stay away from this nightmare drug it can in most likely cause depression and more it's dangerous i had withdrawals for months horrible.......
8	Birth Control I have only been on this pill for week, and I feel as if I'm not even on b.c. at all. I feel no change which is welcome after dealing with ortho tri cyclen lo for several years. With that pill if I missed a pill or started later than a week after the last set of pills, it made me feel like crap. This pil...
3	Birth Control I'm a week away from finishing my second free trial pack from my doc, and I won't be taking anymore. I switched from sprintec, because he said they were lower dose and would make my periods lighter. I was sold on the less hormones. So I get home to Google these, and of course they're practically brand ne...
7	Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Terazosin controls my somewhat high blood pressure and moderately improves my benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms at 5mg, 3X/day. I have found that just missing one dose (after 8-10 hrs after last dose) reduces urinary flow rate, but still a bit above flow before taking this medicine. ...
8	Acne This product works very well, only problem that has showen was the dryness of skin after applying. It has cleared up my face wonderfully, but there are still little not so noticeable areas that refuse to go away. So expensive even with insurance and you only get this tiny bottle but I say its worth it.
8	Atrial Fibrillation I take 100mg twice a day with no issues since I was found with atrial fibrillation. Before I was taking Coreq and my resting heartbeat was always 43, now with this medicine it's 45 to 50 and my cardiologist says all is fine have a pacemaker and defibrillator.
8	Birth Control At the age of 29 I began using Ortho Try-Cylen Lo. I was a bit emotional for the first two months and then this went away. My cramps are very light, and I only have mood swings for a few hours at the begining of that week. My periods are lighter, and on schedule. The only continuous side effect is breast...
0	Birth Control It is March 7, 2010 and I have been on Aviane since December 30, 2009. The reason I was prescribed this pill was because I was bleeding in between my periods and my doctor felt it would stop the bleeding by regulating my already regular periods (??). In any case, it DID work to stop the bleeding in betwe...
8	Allergic Rhinitis Golf for me is not possible when the grass in the roughs is in bloom without allergy help. I need three medications: an antihistimine such as Loratadine (Claritin) or Cetirizine (Zyrtec) to minimize reaction to the pollen overall, cromolyn drops for my eyes to keep them from being irritated and Nasar...
7	Depression Three months on Cymbalta now and doing ok. I posted before that I started out on a very small dose and over 6 weeks got it up to 30 mg. I felt better than I ever had in my life! Then I tried to get it up further but suffered from horrible constipation and gas. Took me a while to know why, but now I am going...
7	Pain Used it for my back
7	I got a second opinion from an OB GYN, I am 32 weeks pregnant, and for most of the pregnancy, I have felt full, tight and bloated. About 6 weeks ago, I called the midwife I have been seeing and told her how I have been feeling, but she told me that was just part of being pregnant. Well, yes, but not to this extreme. ...
9	Anxiety helps me very well with my condition.
5	Bipolar Disorde My psych prescribed Latuda because my SSRI wasn't working all that well. The Latuda helped me level out, calm down, and finally feel somewhat "normal" after a long time. Serious side effect for me, though: Dry eyes. I am somewhat prone to dry eye syndrome anyway, but it was under control. When I ...

My hair is falling out, bloated all of the time, I had to start a pill to stop the constant bleeding, SHORT temper,major depression, I have little control over my emotions now, cramping, acne, Ive been losing bits of bloody skin, weight gain and my anxiety has gotten 10x worse. Id ne...
1	ibromyalgia The medication helped my pain and did not increase my appetite. But I ended up in the hospital with 75% of the side effects including irregular heart rate and low potassium levels.
0	Diabetes, Type 2 Rapid heart rate, persistent nausea, respitory issues, loss of voice. dry skin/throat, abominal pain, back pain, constipation & bloating or frequent gas... it has really messed me up!
5	Birth Control I have only been on this pill for 3 weeks now, but wanted to insert my experience because it seems pretty different than some of the other reviewers. I had light spotting for about a week and a half four days into taking the pill, then it completely stopped. I didn't experience any other side effects unt...
2	Birth Control I've had the implanon for just over a year now and I've never felt so low in my life. I suffer from mental issues and I feel as this has made it worse. It is good for preventing pregnancy but the side affects are too scary. I've had multiple pregnancy symptoms which keep scaring me. I also gain weight, n...
9	Hepatitis C was diagnosed in 2006, but most likely contracted it back in the late mid 70s...I started on Harvoni in November 2015, finished 1/2016..I had not one side effect what so ever. My last viral count was zero!!! I am not on any other medications but I do take a super b complex vitamin every day..taking this m...
6	Keratosis Yesterday was Day 14 of my Zyclara treatment. Using it on my forehead where there was a previous basal cell, and on my chest where I currently have a basal cell. I decided to do the whole top of my chest. Wow, I have many actinic keratosis. It's really scary. No real bad side effects other than the swelling ...
8	Depression I'm a 33 YO female, and this is my first time being on any kind of anti-depressant. I've been on Lexapro 10mg for about a month now. I noticed an immediate increase in energy, and even felt a little jittery. The doctor said it typically takes 2-3 weeks for it to fully kick in, but some people notice a ch...
0	Bipolar Disorde I had been on Latuda for two months. Great medicine except I had severe muscle weakness.
8	Hyperhidrosis I was prescribed oxybutynin Yesterday, the quality of my life has greatly improved, no more sweating and I can focus on job and talk to other people without any worries. Though mouth is just a bit dry, not a big effect. At least I have felt normal for once in my life just like everybody else, hope this g...
9	Birth Control you know that feeling when you miss your period by a couple of days when you're on the pill? The one where you google signs of pregnancy- moody, , bloating,tired (what I feel everyday of my life) and then they tell you are pregnant and have all the STD's. Then your heart drops you freak out and can't con...
0	Indigestion Like many of the Users on this site, I have found that when CVS required me to use this pill manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma Limited from my prior manufacturer used by Rite Aid (little brown discs) that the Aurobindo product does NOT work, even in the 40 mg pill (designed in a white square with rounded ed...

9	Anxiety I have used Xanax for the past 15 years for moderate to severe panic and or anxiety attacks. Were it not for this drug, I am not sure what I would have done. It was and still is a God send. I only use it as needed as opposed to daily use. Two downsides are that it makes me drowsy and if I drink alcohol when I ...
8	Anxiety and Stress Good.
2	Acne I only started using differin a week ago. It has made my skin very red like in the first 3 days I got a red rash-like thing below my lips and on my cheeks and it burns. It also has made around my eyes very dry. I am going to start using it every second day for my skin to get used to it but I really hope that it w...
9	Migraine I live in the UK so I get Maxalt free on NHS. I suffer from migraines a lot, and before I started taking Maxalt I would get minimum of 4 migraines a month sometimes more. These would last a whole 7 days with the first 24 hrs being hell! Its hard to explain to non-sufferers how painful these are. All of you wi...
8	Bipolar Disorde Saphris seems to really calm my manic symptoms. Especially the racing thoughts and restlessness. My doctor gave samples of the new Black Cherry Saphris and the taste is 1000 times better! It's almost pleasant tasting. And to top it all, I've only gained 3 pounds the 6 months I've been on it.
0	Asthma I took Dulera 200 for about 3 months. After a month I experienced heart palpitations (heart rate from 80 to 188 in seconds). At first it would only last 2-3 minutes. Then palpitations lasted over an hour, then two hours. Ended up in the ER four times, twice to receive an IV drug to reset and slow my heart b...

I'm currently on this medicine. I've been prescr...
7	Major Depressive Disorde Prevents dwelling on missed loved ones, crying, irritability, feeling left out, self-pity, resentment, bitterness.

9	Birth Control I was browsing the web looking for reviews for contraceptive options, due to the fact that it is hard for me to remember to take the pill everyday. I have been on Loestrin/Minastrin for 6 years now, and I have loved it. I was put on this birth control my first day at the gyno as a test pack to see if the...
0	Birth Control The pills stopped my period, caused mood swings, vaginal dryness and killed my sex drive. My husband thought I was not attracted to him anymore. I stopped using it after the 2 months and our sex was fine again. So was my period.
7	Insomnia For me it had a lot of hallucinogenic properties that lasted for 3 days. The sleep was solid though. It was when you woke up that the hallucinations began. There were closed-eyed and open-eyed hallucinations. In terms of strength, the closed-eyed hallucinations were vivid and clear, like watching TV. The open...
8	Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia I have been on Tasigna since being diagnosed in November 2013. Given how I felt at the point of diagnosis, I am so happy with Tasigna. I have minor side effects and my energy level has been great. Early results are great. Time will tell.
0	Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Was on mirena almost two years and it was very bad. Bleeding non stop after insertion for a couple months , and now it's been out for almost 6 months and I've been bleeding a lot again. I spotted 3 times in between my periods this month and my doctor said around 6 months after my periods woul...
4	Constipation After experiencing some mildly unpleasant urgent diarrhea with miralax and horrible explosive diarrhea on Linzess, doc suggested ducolax. Bad idea. Took 6 hours to work, as the box suggested. Woke me up with impending doom pain. Had a normalish bm before puking up the dinner I had two hours prior to dosin...
8	Birth Control I got the Skyla IUD put in in the beginning of May 2014 due to my inability to take combined hormonal birth control of any sort due to major migraines and mood swings. My first two periods after insertion gave me the most terrible cramps, but have since lightened up a lot as has my period flow. It messe...
0	Light Anesthesia I was given Versed pre-surgery for a D & C and within minutes I was vomiting violently. The surgery had to be cancelled due to my extreme reaction. I was dry heaving for 4 hours and was sick for days. I had terrible vertigo and very loud ringing in my ears. That was 5 months ago and I'm still being tr...
9	Emergency Contraception I never write reviews on anything, but due to the fact that I was freaking out I know most girls are on the same boat I was. I looked everywhere just to read that it actually works and let me you, it works!!! As long as it is taken as the direction say. I has unprotected sex on Dec 28 and and w...
2	Anxiety and Stress Started for sleep. No difference with headache help at 25mg, felt groggy, cut back to 10. Never noticed much help with sleep, unless I took a flexeril too. Back to 25 no difference, except I can't go to sleep if I don't take it. There is a rebound sleep effect, with sleep cycles, so up in panic aft...
8	Obsessive Compulsive Disorde I have had severe OCD since I was 14 years old. I suffer from obsessions alone. I also suffer from Bipolar I. I was on Luvox or Fluvoxamine for 15 years and it took away most of my obsessions. After 15 years it no longer worked and it took much convincing for my psychiatrist to allow ...
3	Acne I just started my fourth month and I'm still hopeful I'll see my acne start to clear up. It hasn't really seen any improvements if anything it is a bit worse. I also get my period two times a month and I called my doctor to inform her and she said after three months that should start getting regulated as well as ...
8	Anxiety I have been on lexapro for generalized anxiety. I started 5mg for 4 wks, just upped it to 10 mg one wk ago. For the first week I had slight headaches, sweaty palms and hot flashes. When I went on 10mg I had a little increase in anxiety and trouble staying asleep, but hopefully this passes. I felt my anxiet...
7	Depression I'm currently on Day 8 of the Rexulti trial pack (stepping up dosage) and so far so good...except that I feel that it's deadened sex drive. However, that can be remedied I think. The benefit is that my "painful emotions" accompanying serious depression have all but vanished. And so far I have not experie...
4	Bipolar Disorde When I was first prescribed it, it was pretty nice. It stabilized my mood and turned off the "static" in my head, and could think way clearer. My family commented on how much I was more like myself again. However, over time, I think it lost its effectiveness and eventually suffered a bout of akathesia....
9	Cold Sores Had cold sores all my life... got my first breakout at age 15 and it was terrifying I had no idea what they were. Used everything and tried everything and nothing worked! It was hell. In January I went to the dermatologist and he saw that I had cold sores so he prescribed me valtrex. It's life changing, and...
8	Acne Ortho tri cycles saved my face! I've dealt with cystic acne flare ups for years. I experienced HUGE cysts that would distort my face. I've tried EVERYTHING to rid myself of them (even did a round of accutane 10 years ago) but they persistently return. 7 months ago I switched from Alesse to and it's made an ...
0	Prostatitis Cipro is horrible poison and it has had a negative impact on my quality of life. I took 500mg 2x day for prostatitis.
