Too bad the reporting is not mandatory since most people would never submit their side effects, so is hard to know what percentage of side effects are ever reported to the FDA. That is the most important thing to know about a drug once the masses are using them.

Adverse reports for specific agents can be found at CDER inpodcasts
http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/podcast/default.htm
active safety alerts
http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/DrugSafety/DrugIndex.htm
quarterlies
http://www.fda.gov/cder/dsn/default.htm
And I'm sure poking around the FDA would turn up something else.
