Cytotec: Had a pregnancy, no heartbeat and no natural miscarriage. I chose to terminate versus wait and see as I have PCOS and prior complications from premature labor. Took Mifeprex 200mg orally. Then 24hrs later I took 800mg of IBU 20 minutes before taking the 800mg of Cytotec (dissolving in my mouth and then swallowing) (Doctor instructed me to use a lifesaver to aid in saliva production and mask the taste which worked very well). within 20 minutes my throat, stomach and uterus were spasming. 2hrs later the uterine cramps were regular and could feel the first gush of fluid. Cramps were uncomfortable only slightly worst then a normal period. Not taking any pain meds almost 24hrs later and feeling fine, aside from the natural awkwardness of a heavy period where you fear your pad leaking. Given my circumstance I would recommend this method rather than a D&C which seems more traumatic to me. I am at home and it is private. My doctor is a phone call or an email away.Did not experience insomnia or diarrhea so far so that is also good.

Cytotec: I was given this medication after I found out I had miscarried. I was never supposed to have children and have Ovarian Cancer needless to say I was suprized then heartbroken. My experience with this Medication was that it worked within two hours But was EXTREMLY PAINFUL. I could not take any pain medication or nausea pills due to my prior illness and allergys. I was extremly sick and it hurt worse than any of my prior surgury. On the postive SIDE it was private and done at home with my husband there to help me through so we could deal with the loss on our own. I would recomend it to other women, but know there is a good chance it will hurt like heck, be sure you can take pain medication before you take this pill.

Cytotec: this was prescribed for a spot on my esphageus and due to inflamation in my esophagues and stomach. the treatment seemed to clam the inflamation and i feel much better.

Cytotec: I was 8.5 weeks pregnant when a sonogram revealed my baby died, had no heartbeat and quit growing at 6.5 weeks. I had a missed miscarriage. This was prescribed to me, and I read all the reviews on here before using it because I was terrified I would have a lot of pain. I CAN tell you - I had NO PAIN using this drug. I was prescribed hydrocodone which I took 45 min prior to taking this drug orally; then another dose of Cytotec (miso...) two hours later. I am now not even on pain meds and I feel fine, am in day two of using this. If I ever have to go through a miscarriage again I will definitely go this route, not a D & C, to save $$$. Painless, and useful. Good luck and hope this review helps.

Cytotec: I took this drug as prescribed by my OB/GYN after confirmation of my miscarriage. I read some of the other reviews and was a bit concerned; however, my experience was suprisingly good. Prior to taking the pill, my OB/GYN advised me to take 800mg of Ibuprofen and also gave me Lortab for pain (as needed). I took the Cytotec at 5PM (vaginally as instructed... not orally) and the bleeding started by 9:30PM. The heaviest (large clumps) was between 12:45AM-3:00AM. I had absolutely NO PAIN and NO CRAMPING. In between changing out pads and letting the large clumps fall in the toilet, I slept. It truly wasn't nearly as unpleasant of an experience as I had anticipated. I had a D&C my LAST miscarriage and this was probably a less invasive process. Gross... but any miscarriage is.

Cytotec: I'm 29 y.o. and took Cytotec to soften my cervix prior to IUD insertion. I took it the night before my procedure and had some very mild cramping through the night. It helped make the insertion painless! I'm so glad my NP prescribed this medication.

Cytotec: its easier than mifeprex. cheaper too

Cytotec: A miracle! Since 2004, I have experienced burning, lower abdominal and lower back pain. Nothing helped. After many months of expensive medications, antibiotics and weekly/monthly bladder instillations using urinary catheters, Cytotec taken in pill-form, has allowed me to sometimes forget that I have Interstitial Cystitis (IC). Thanks to Interstitial Cystitis Network's message boards where thousands discuss their lives with IC, my discomfort is very minimal if any at all. I no longer burn after voiding.
I understand that by increasing the mucosal layer, Cytotec may be giving the bladder lining a chance to heal. My acid reflux is also much improved. The only side effect that I have noticed is an occasional disturbance in heart rhythm and a slight increase in perspiration during stress. These symptoms are minimal and I have to say well worth the change in comfort compared to the misery and lack of life-quality during the worst months of my life which were debilitatingly dark. To prepare for a workshift, I had to take pain pills and make sure that I had an adequate supply for slowing the burning with me at all times. Travel for any length of time was pure pain. For months I lay in bed while my family tried to maintain some sense of normalcy and yet be helpful and sympathetic to me, while not knowing what to do to help and afraid for the future.
I am now, due to Cytotec, leading a normal life. But if I eat any catsup or very little chocolate, I do still notice lower back pain, slight burning and/or lower abdominal pain for a day or two.
I pray for the ulitmate cure. I hope for increased research so that others who suffer every day with the hopelessness and depressing dread that this disease causes, can be spared and given back their lives! And I hope that Cytotec continues to work, until that day comes.

Cytotec: Is there a difference? My financial condition as elder demands help with PACE program in my state. They hit me with surprise today that a generic is out and I must use it to keep the price I've been paying through the program. I found Searle's Cytotec so safe and effective in preventing additional stomach bleeding that I am frightened to change!
