2 | GERD | I use the bottles I have remaining to taper off a cycle of the much stronger Pepcid AC. I do 4 weeks on Pepcid, 1 week on Zantac, then switch to Gaveson regular plus Gavescon advanced for a month or longer since it's not good to be on these drugs long term. | The anxiety, panic attacks, and heart palpitations are unreal! I have no problems with Pepcid or Gavescon. A few days after starting Zantac these palpations start. They come on within an hour of taking the pill, and last at least 4 hours. Whenever I begin to doze off, I'm suddenly woken up in an absolute panic. | M | 35 | 7 days 150 1X day | 4/10/2021 | 2 | acid reflux | Shortness of breath, anxiety, painful back, lack of appetite, very dry mouth. | Thankfully, read comments on here & realised it wasn't just me but the medication. I am now having acupuncture & Chinese herbs, which are working very well for my digestion & has also stopped my anxiety attacks. | F | 70 | 9 months 150 1X day | 12/20/2020 | 5 | for reflux | This was the only thing that eased my reflux, and now I am unable to get it because no one sells it, because of a stupid lawsuit.

But Zantac does relieve the heartburn.depending on how severe your reflux is would determine if the side effects are worth the use of this product. | M | 48 | 2 months 150 mg | 12/25/2019 | 3 | GERD and severe acid reflux | Instant relief of most heartburn symptoms, a bit of upset stomach and lower back pain somewhat tired all the time and joint and bone pain possibly associated with the use of Zantac. | I switched from dr prescribed nexium to 150 mg Zantac, 3 days in I started feeling really exhausted and a lot of joint pain and some over all restlessness, trouble sleeping.

Feels like I have been poisoned. It's systemic... Horrible rib pain, upper torso pain from stomach radiating to back. Weakness, nightmares, anxiety. PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THIS DRUG. I have been a virtual zombie for two weeks. When you stop drug, acid comes back much stronger. This should NOT be sold over the counter. Criminal. | At least since I have read these comments, I feel somewhat relieved that I am not dying!!!! | F | 73 | 2 weeks 150 mg | 9/13/2019 | 1 | Gastritis | Stomach pain and cramps, legs ached, terrible diarrhea | I experienced major stomach cramps and had a horrific case of diarrhea.

It’s terrible! | M | 41 | 3 days 300 mg | 8/24/2019 | 1 | Reflux | Horrible joint/bone pain, tingling in arms and legs, increased anxiety and nausea, upset tummy, | I was on this previous for a bad flare up, and thought the tingling was down to different medication. I stopped everything, a recent flare up had me reaching for the Zantac and within 24 the tingling is back and my anxiety has increased 10 fold. Going to look at natural remedies now. | F | 28 | 3 days 150 | 8/23/2019 | 3 | Gastritis | Anxiety!!

Also had anxiety - Immediately stopped Xatac. two full days have passed with no Xantac rash fading but still very itchy all over hard to sleep. will allow 1 more day before calling doctor to see if it need some anti something - preferably natural not pills. | Will not recommend this product to anyone and advise if they must - try very low dose and be prepared for side effects of some sort. | F | 79 | 5 days 150mg 1X day | 6/3/2019 | 4 | Erosive gastritis | Lower heart rate, dizziness | F | 30 | 2 years 150 | 6/2/2019 | 2 | Gerd | Heart palpitations started 1 hour after taking this medicine. | F | 38 | 1 days 150 mg | 4/23/2019 | 2 | Gerd | Anxiety increased and weird feeling in my chest, felt like esophagus spasms or heart palpitations. | Taken Zantac 150 in the past and didn’t really have any issues after a month on it had restless leg syndrome at night and trouble sleeping, but no chest issues. | M | 39 | 10 days 150 | 3/23/2019 | 2 | GERD | Where do I begin? ANXIETY and PANIC ATTACKS! Depression, tiredness, dehydration and constipation. Just a general feeling of not feeling or being well. | I originally began taking this medication because of nighttime GERD. I think in the beginning, I tolerated this poison. I started having small anxiety attacks and just thought it was the stress of daily life. Fast forward a few years and I now have full blown ANXIETY and PANIC ATTACKS. Depression is a daily battle. I have been to the doctor many times over the years and he said there is no way it could be the Zantac 150 causing it. He gave me Klonopin to kill the anxiety and panic attacks. Now I'm addicted to that! Long story short, STAY AWAY FROM THIS POISON! Think twice before believing your doctor when they say "it's safe and you shouldn't have any side effects". I am now trying desperately to find a way to get off of this stuff. My body is so used to having it, every time I try to taper, it's not successful. I'm on a hamster wheel and I can't get off. I was a happy, healthy father of two young kids and now I've missed most of their childhood because I "didn't feel good". Don't follow in my foot steps! | M | 55 | 12 years 150 2X day | 3/21/2019 | 2 | Gerd | Losing my mind I got on anxiety medication and was very stressed then I realized maybe it's the rantidine and quit taking it now my symptoms are gone I thought I was dying. | M | 28 | 18 years 150 | 3/15/2019 |
