Side Effects for Benzamycin (benzoyl peroxide; erythromycin)
BENZAMYCIN (BENZOYL PEROXIDE; ERYTHROMYCIN): This product is used to treat moderate acne. It helps to reduce the number of pimples. This medication is a combination of 2 drugs. Erythromycin works by stopping the growth of acne-causing bacteria. It belongs to a class of drugs known as macrolide antibiotics. Benzoyl peroxide also kills acne-causing bacteria and causes the top layer of skin to dry and peel off so that new skin can form. This product also contains alcohol which helps to dry extra oils from the skin. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I can manage the effect on the skin, no problems. It’s the intense feeling of being unwell, like flu that I just cannot suffer any more. This cream is horrendous. Knowing that I would have to use this cream around twice each year for new AKs is something I just can’t continue with.
Got up to a fairly high dosage (think it was 200 mg) and felt nothing. No good, no bad, no energy, no lack of energy... just nothing. Some people love it. Actually, I haven't found an SSRI yet that works for me.
I, like so many other girls on this website, had switched to Trinessa for insurance purposes this month. I didn't think it would be any different. Today I called my mom crying asking her if I was a mean person and feeling terrible at the crazy person I had become at home towards my husband. I am so thankful I found this website! I now know I am not crazy. I have been taking Trinessa for only about 2.5 weeks and am already moody, depressed, I cry all the time, I have no sex drive, and I hate everything. I have gained 4 pounds even though I run/walk 4 miles about five times a week and eat great. I am bloated and my breasts feel as if they weigh 50 lbs each. Paying the difference for Ortho is worth my sanity. DON'T TAKE TRINESSA!!!
I've been taking Yasmin for about 6 years. I just decided to switch because my doctor thinks that the bad headaches I get could stem from the lack of estrogen on days 21-28. After reading this, there are some other things I experience that could be a result of Yasmin. No Sex Drive... I thought it was just me and it frustrates my husband, but I've been on Yasmin so long that chances are that it's not me and probably the pill. Wish I would have found this site earlier!! :) Overall I would recommend Yasmin.
Macrobid made me feel the worst I've ever felt in my life.
It worked for my UTI but I would not advise anyone to take it, If I get another I will ask for an alternative. 2 days after last capsule I am still experiencing the side effects mentioned.
I finally found my lost libido!!!
I seem to get colds/bronchitus/asthma less than I did before, but I don't know if it is because of this drug, or because of the Allergy Shot Therapy I am on.
Shortness of breath, lump in my throat, dizziness & anxiety (due to not catching my breath). Went back to Dr. and he gave me an inhaler, I am quitting the Prilosec and see what happens. Worse right after taking it and throughout the day. Symptoms happened after a month, thought I was dying!
I was not diagnosed with ADHD until adulthood. I tried concerta before trying vyvanse, and was nervous about trying vyvanse after my experience with concerta. But it was such a life changing thing for me. I suddenly started understanding how neurotypical people managed to do so many things. My anxiety decreased, my memory improved, my productivity increased. I have to take it before 7:30 in order for it not to affect my sleep, but it's so so worth it.
