Although another user reported that his iPhone is doing completely fine after the Update, He said that:

“10 hours 23 minutes on “Standby” with the phone checking e-mail over cellular and wifi almost equal time.

And 2 hours of usage browsing internet, answering e-mails, texting, taking pictures, talking on the phone, looking up recipes while cooking, etc.
And, Still has 85% battery left. Just did the update this morning through iTunes and went right about normal day with it”

But mostly People have reporting on Apple Forums with complaints about Fast Draining of Battery,Following is a guy who is suffering a lot from the new update of iOS and his views are quoted below.

“Yes I was warned but IOS 8 is seriously eating up my battery on my iPhone 5s. I did an OTA update, not a clean install. I’m not too worried because I’ll be getting the iPhone 6 on Friday and I will be wiping this phone. In just a course of 30 minutes I went from 100% down to 86%. My phone pretty much lasted all day with normal usage and I would still get home with 45%”
