Drug side effects are experienced by thousands every day

Prescription drug side effects are experienced by thousands of individuals every day; prescription drug side effects are something that we come to expect, as mild inconveniences while taking a particular medication. However to some, prescription drug side effects are not as simple as a dull headache. Many people experience severe or disabling prescription drug side effects. This can be most frustrating, as to many it seems that the prescription drug side effects that they experience are either as bad, nearly as bad, or even worse than the illness or problem that the drug is being taken to treat.

Most prescription drug side effects that common are mild side effects like:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Dry Mouth
• Fatigue
• Diarrhea

These prescription drug side effects usually go away with time, or whenever the medication is discontinued, with no lasting consequences. Other prescription drug side effects, however, that may cause alarm and ultimately the medication to be discontinued, are more severe such as blood clots, stroke, or infertility.

Have you ever seen the warning on a label that states "may be habit forming"? This is a warning about one of the more serious prescription drug side effects. Addiction may occur with some prescription drug treatments as a side effect. For many, this a serious side effect because it does not go away when the true need for the drug is over, but rather a mental and often physiological dependency that has been established over the duration of the medication continues. This can cause difficulty in every day life and be problematic in careers and relationships with friends, loved ones, and family.
