97,988 | Nexplanon | birth control | "I had nexplanon put in 9 months ago. I forget I have it and I forget women have periods. I don't remember how annoying it is to get it. Not a drop of blood in 9 months and no pregnancy. No negative side effects at all. I love it!" | 10 | September 9, 2015 | 9 |

30,921 | Miconazole | vaginal yeast infection | "So today I bought the 7 day Monistat, I inserted the cream about an hour ago and it does not feel too bad. The first couple of minutes were irritating but after a while the burning subsided. It's just like you putting alcohol in a cut and it burning for a few minutes, then it goes away. This is only day 1 for me and I... | 7 | February 27, 2017 | 7 |
124,340 | Skyla | birth control | "Getting this thing put in was one of the worst pains I've ever felt. I first tried mirena, but turns out my cervix is "kinked like a hose" and so it consequently would not fit, but I still got the terrible cramps and all that. Tried skyla next after taking medicine to dilate my cervix (the same one they commonly give ... | 9 | January 10, 2016 | 0 |
37,558 | Vyvanse | adhd | "I have been diagnosed with ADHD and since then my life have been a total wreck.

36,559 | Fentanyl | postoperative pain | "I got this drug post surgery twice and it had little to effect on my pain. Unfortunately I had forgotten to mention before the second surgery that it failed to work the first time around. Both times I awoke from surgery in tears and severe pain.

213,121 | Medi-Quik Spray | pain | "Works for pain, but also antibacterial! AND a gentle spray!
I absolutely love this product because I didn't get ANY reactions (like I did from all the others), I HEALED faster, and it DOES take away itching and pain like a charm.
The other products didn't work NEARLY as well. I was disappointed that my local drug ... | 10 | August 31, 2009 | 17 |
104,223 | Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel | birth control | "This pill is perfect! I've been on it for about a year now, and I have to say it's done me well.

177,259 | Duloxetine | ibromyalgia | "I did not notice a change while taking this med. I still took it for 2 years even though it was not effective.

17,049 | Phillips' Milk of Magnesia | constipation | "I've tried everything and I mean, EVERYTHING. I have severe OIC and have discovered that I need "hydrating" laxatives.

228,718 | Leflunomide | rheumatoid arthritis | "It has helped with inflammation and pain to a degree, but not enough to negate some of the side effects. Diarrhea, to being "very regular" was tolerable, but the pneumonia was not.

55,836 | Effexor | depression | "First time writing on here. Been on Effexor (instant release tablets) over 4 years. Average dose I hovered around was 400mg/day.

28,681 | Lexapro | anxiety | "These glowing reviews are comical to me. I have had anxiety most of my life, not all the time, but it has come and gone since I was a little girl.
