Whenever I use it I get a tingling feeling up my spine and rectal itching. I feel as if it has been making me weaker. I'm tired more often, and seem as if I can't do what I used to do eg run on treadmill, walking tires me out. I've been using for 2 years on a daily basis. Now I'm told about surgery to cut inner sphincther muscle, 42 yo M afraid I will become incontinent.

I have used it for only two days. Headache, dizziness and fatigue are intolerable. I felt like a zombie immediately after applying the cream. DO NOT DRIVE if you are using this cream. It’s awful !

This medication makes my anal fissure throb which is better than solid pain but not really effective. This just does nothing for me and it's not worth the trouble to use it. So I use nothing.

This drug helped with one of the worst health issues I have had. (I was bedridden and entire month at worst point.) It was part of a regimen which included daily dose of mineral oil and stool softeners. Rest and disapline is also important, if you are going to beat this condition without surgery. Suggest limiting bowel movements to 1x per day if possible. Morning was the best for me, a half hour after application of nitro-bid. Don't put med on wound but somewhere on muscle or it will sting. You may need advil or something in advance of application if its gives you a headache (didn't me.) Get a ring cushion to sit on. Limit physical exercise and caloric intake. Take vitamins. Lie down and elevate feet when it hurts. Hang in there! I am feeling much better after 6 long months!Read More Read Less

I was given this medication for a condition i have called raunauds. Raunauds is when your fingers get exposed to cold air my hands they get really cold fast i have really bad circulation in my hands in other words. My fingers turn white then purple and it is SO PAINFUL! I was told to put the ointment right around my nuckles, but its very hard for me to use this because im a mother of 2 i have a 5yr old and an 11yr old, So i cant use this at home so i try to use it more when im at work so i dont have to worry about touching my kids with it. I works really well for me i think it was a good idea to try to use it for raunauds. ElviraRead More Read Less

After I read the side effects, I knew right away I would FOR SURE have a headache. So I was preparing. No, it turned out to be a full fledged migraine headache. And then to have two scary experiences was enough for me. I had cut my big toe by the cuticle, not sure how, don't ask, but I noticed it was bleeding. So, I put a bandaid on it and went about my business. Well, 2 minutes later, I look down and there is blood coming out of the cracks and crevices of the bandaid. Ok so I changed the bandaid finding this odd cause I have never bled this much. 2nd bandaid same results. I had soaked through 2 bandaids in 5 minutes. Then it finally clotted. 2nd scary experience is: I went to have a bowel movement gladly because it had been a few days. Normally when I go potty I wipe and because of the fissure there is blood on the toilet paper. More so than ever before. Well, this time I go potty, I go to wipe and I look down in the toilet and BLOOD DRIZZLING INTO THE TOILET! Talk about scary. My doctor did not inform me that it was going to be like this. She should've prescribed something such as Lortab for the 2 weeks I will be using Nitro Bid. The headaches are insane! Then because it relaxes the blood vessels you can't get a tiny cut or you will bleed for awhile and can't stop it. Calling my doctor tomorrow to figure out if I should be on this, if it was a bad thing that I had blood draining out of my butt, and if I continue on this medication, I want Lortab or Percocet for the headaches. Other than that, put me on something else. I can't recommend it yet because I haven't used it for the whole 2 weeks, but I'm sure it will help. We will see.Read More Read Less

I had a horrific experience with this ointment due to an interaction I believe took place with my anti- seizure medication. If you are epileptic, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I experienced severe, debilitating headache and threw up for about 4 hours, until the drug was out of my system. My anal fissure felt better, but the rest of me wanted to die.
