Side Effects for Pletal (cilostazol)
PLETAL (CILOSTAZOL): Cilostazol is used to improve the symptoms of a certain blood flow problem in the legs (intermittent claudication). Cilostazol can decrease the muscle pain/cramps that occur during exercise/walking. Claudication pain is caused by too little oxygen getting to the muscles. Cilostazol can increase blood flow and the amount of oxygen that gets to the muscles. Cilostazol is an antiplatelet drug and a vasodilator. It works by stopping blood cells called platelets from sticking together and prevents them from forming harmful clots. It also widens blood vessels in the legs. Cilostazol helps the blood to move more easily and keeps blood flowing smoothly in your body. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

2nd shot continued nerve pain going down whole arm ofInjection site 2 months ago.
I initially agreed to try out Viibryd because my psychiatrist promised me it had no effect on weight. WRONG! Within the first week I gained three pounds, and I wasn't eating anything differently.
Constant sinus and skin problems, as well as occasional hallucinations.
I took complete 10 day course of 875mg Augmentin. 24 hours after the last pill was taken, I developed severely itchy soles of my feet and palms. 12 hours later had large bright red welts of hives across my abdomen and chest...It looked like someone had beat me with a narrow belt! Hives have come and gone over the past five days, mostly on arms, chest, and groin area. Itchiness comes and goes during the day. Called my doctor and talked to the nurse, and she said these symptoms were likely due to the Augmentin. I asked why I didn't have immediate symptoms, instead after the course of treatment was completed? She said I may have developed a gradual intolerance to it. I have taken Augmentin in the past with no ill effects, so I guess my body has built up a gradual intolerance? She also said I could have intermittent periods of hives/itchiness for several weeks after? It did clear up my sinus/ear infection quickly.

I am currently trying to work through the yeast problems because this drug has made such a huge difference to my asthma. I went from using my albuterol inhaler 8 times a day to once every other day or so! I will try and work out the Yeast issues with diet if I can so that I can stay on this drug. I would hate to have to give it up.
My pain has certainly eased off, hoping it will last after I have completed the course, otherwise it is a operation which I would rather avoid. I was two minded at first after reading reviews,but my doctor really thought we should give it a go, but must say everyone reacts differently to all medication and I do not regret it at this point in time. I am also on HRT which seems to help with the side affects.
Bitter mouth taste horrible even worse when drinking water, dark urine, dark vaginal discharge.
As this med has really done it's job, that is helping me sleep. It works great - it a matter of deciding how worth the side effects are, it seems like some have a low tolerance some high. I have a very high tolerance. My husband only needs to take a 1/4 of the 10 mg generic and he is out like a light, no side effects. I take 1 x 12.5 CR, and sometimes 1/2 that amount more and it does not work.. I am seeing my dr and asking for something else to help. Something like Pamelor and old tried and true med... As I think the Ambien increases my depression, and sometimes gives me this weird out of body feeling.. Now that I think about it, it might be what is effecting my concentration at the office... Bottom line I would recommend this to someone for short term use, that has exhausted all other options.
