232,202 | Paroxetine | anxiety and stress | "Was on this tablet for 11 years and it changed my life. Foolishly reduced the dose 6 months ago to prepare to come off them and have relapsed.

142,777 | Levonorgestrel | birth control | "I had the insertion on April 19, 2017. As expected, the procedure was uncomfortable and caused some cramping that lasted for the day.

82,810 | Paxil | anxiety | "I don't understand why people quit after 3 days starting it. It made them too anxious or depressed - isn't this why you are taking it? It doesn't work overnight.

90,485 | Docosanol | herpes simplex | "I have taken this medicine since it first came out.
