Side Effects for Pataday (olopatadine hydrochloride)
It's expensive! $30 copay for 2.5 mil. It has helped my allergies, but I also have to take a steroid drop along with the Pataday for my severe conjunctivitis.
Mild stinging for the first few days
These drops did seem to help the intense itching I get during certain allergy seasons. It takes a few days to really work well but it does work. It stings a tiny bit but not anything compared to over the counter allergy eye drops.
PATADAY (OLOPATADINE HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication is an antihistamine used to treat itching and redness in the eyes due to allergies. This medication is not recommended for the treatment of eye irritation due to wearing contact lenses. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I didn't have any major side effects, 2 mild hot flashes (one at ovulation and one the day before my period). I think since I had such severe endo and such severe symptoms the relief is that much more noticeable.
Have been taking Plavix, aspirin, Coumadin, Lipitor, and 50 mg Toprol XL after a stent implant in 01/05. Was also taking Prinivil for two years (until a month ago) for protein in urine, which caused several bad effects (bad case of diarrhea, lightheadedness, constant coughing/chest congestion, slower heart rate which resulted in having a pacemaker implanted).
I think it helped with anxiety, however, it made me so tired. I didn't want to go to work each day because I was so tired. The day dragged by and would wake up each day at 5 am. Seemed like the tiredness took away the anxiety
Tremendous weight gain, headaches, decreased libido.
I have a severe infection from a tick bite. Tests have not yet confirmed Lyme disease or Rocky mountain spotted fever so I am unsure if the headache and nausea are actually from the doxycycline or the infection. The medication does seem to be working though.
DDS snuck it into my dental anesthi
Weight gain/binge eating, headache, disturbed sleep. Helped with depression only briefly. Anxiety is currently worse.
Stay away, Dr's need to be more careful prescribing this and tell patients about these side effects as very few of them are listed on the product leaflet. NEVER AGAIN.
The side effects I described took about 5 months to subside but finally did. Now I only occasionally have to deal with either. And the side effect of seeing things... it was like seeing a bug crawling near me so that I'd jump a little, but wasn't terrified. Just startled. Not really that bad, and obviously not bad enough to stop taking it. Also, the side effects were drastically reduced just going from taking 10mgs to 5mgs instead. I now take 5mgs with Lorcet 10/650 3x a day every day.
Burping, fullness after eating, weight loss
