I have not had any noticible side effects from taking this medication. It has "cured" my RLS which prevented me from ever getting a full nights sleep. I'm taking 1 MG 2 hours before bed and sleep great! No disturbing dreams, no joint pain, headaches, etc. I do wake up with heartburn several times a week, but take a few Rolaids and go right back to sleep.
Prescribed by Dr. After about 5-6 weeks, I developed a strange blister on my lower lip like nothing I had had before. Quit taking it after doing some research online and finding out that pemphigus vulgaris is a rare side effect. This is a condition where your skin becomes loose from your flesh and is "ususally fatal if not treated". Note the other post under brand name Vasotec where the person got lip blisters and swollen face.

In the two years I've been on Actonel I've started having numbness and tingleing from the hips on down to my feet. Doctor can find no reason and until I read these posts I thought this was just something I had to endure. Now I'm wondering if Actonel is the culprit.
This med was a nightmare - stopped several times to prove side-effects were from Flovent but had to go back on due to asthma. These 'psychotic effects' are listed on product monograph but not on product insert. REPORTS to Health Canada (or similar) will lead to the addition of a warning on the insert. When off the med we got our daughter back - she was back to normal. She's back up to 4 puffs of ventolin per day now so we're forced to try out Pulmicort (a similar steroid). Doctors look at us like we're crazy - prescribing physicians don't know about this risk! HELP THESE KIDS!

Worked wonders for my blood pressure. Kept me and my baby safe and healthy.
I used Peridex 6 months before for a previous gum surgery experience and did not notice any negative side effects. After noticing some mild irritation this time I did an internet search and found this site with other Peridex users negative experiences.
Bad headache, ringing in ears, anxiety, depression (I've NEVER had that before!) pain in lower legs - shins, swollen ankles, high b.p., insomnia, weke up at 4 a.m. no matter what time I go to sleep. Lethargic, weak, tired, indigestion. On day 7 it feels like my UTI is coming back. Ribs are sore. Increased appetite (could be because I'm too exhausted to do anything).
I've only been on it a day and a half and these side effects are killing me. I wake up with morning sickness and it lasts on and off throughout the day. I STRONGLY recommend that everyone gets a prescription for an anti-nausea pill. I'm taking Zoloft and so far it's helped to curb the extreme sickness. Its very rough to deal with the constant nausea. The other hard thing is you have to take Metronidazole with a lot of food and with the loss of appetite it makes it very difficult consume anything. Even the thought of food makes makes you gag. I have to take it 3 x's a day for one week. Another helpful tip: to get rid of that AWFUL taste, put some maple syrup in a spoon or plate and with your finger, roll the pill around in it until it's coated. Then chug quickly with a glass of milk. I did that for the first time today and i couldnt taste a thing! thank god.
