Related User Reviews for Side Effects

I took this drug with no side effects for years, and now every time i take it i itch horribly and cannot sleep for several hours after taking

I'm still taking this medication. I don't have any side effects with this medication and have been taking it for about two years. It still works great to increase motility.

I am a wreck!! I started taking Boniva 5 months ago. As the months passed, I began with one symptom, then another. At first, you don't think about a side-effect of medication. This is a very sly, ugly medication...it invades your body and creeps up on you....like a bad storm. During these past five months I kept wondering what was going on with me...what was wrong...I felt terrible...seemed like one thing and another...having to call off sick from my job. I have felt utterly miserable with fatigue, joint pain, chest heaviness, flu-like symptoms, pains here, pains there!! It has been frightening and terribly concerning...and definitely debilitating!!! As I have read other patient reviews I have to ask the medical profession and the FDA.....WHY is this medication being prescribed and still on the market?? There are profound and long-term side effects from women of all ages. It is time someone needs to listen....and ACT!! This has just about ruined my health and now may have to retire, because I cannot continue to work and feel this way...in addition it makes me appear as an unreliable employee. I am angry, frustrated and looking for answers. Now what?? Nothing to reverse the severe, daily trauma....just another symptom lurking to throw your life into a continued spiral of poor health. There should be a class action law suit against the distribution of this medication!!

not for me, my cough is a bit better but all the side effects aren't worth it for me. i'd rather have a cough then feel like i'm going to vomit everytime i move.

joints ached, stomach pain, muscle pain, bone pain, groin pain. Took 1 injections and six weeks out side effects are severe. Will never take it again.
