| 3 | acid burnes | bein sick every time i drink or eat | illness started aweek after i started tking them i lost alot of weight hospital convinced me it wasnt the tablets but it iz | F | 13 | 4 months | 3/11/2006 | 1 | GERD | I too have experienced muscular pain, muscle cramping, occasional dizziness and anxiety. Horrible... | This is the only drug I take and have struggled with the general malaise that I have been feeling. Decided to try to go without it and I am feeling much better. I never had feelings of anxiety in my life and I don't ever want them again. Had my gall bladder removed 2 years ago. I wonder if the drug caused my gall bladder problems as well. | M | 53 | 3 years | 3/14/2006 | 1 | extreme anxiety | Horrible runs of extreme anxiety, a feeling like there is a ton of adrenalin pumping through my body. Anxiety went away after stopping prilosec. Took awhile to figure out that it was the drug and not me. Didn't cause anxiety until I'd been taking it for more than 6 months. Coincidentally, the side effect of anxiety started a few weeks after the relief of gerd no longer occurred. | Do whatever you have to do to get rid of gerd:lose weight, don't wear tight clothes. Just DON'T take prilosec | F | 44 | 6 months | 3/20/2006 | 1 | dispepsia | diziness,ear ringing, blurry vision, headaches | i was healthy before and now my life is a mess. i have stopped losec for a month and all the sideeffects persist | M | 31 | 14 days | 3/22/2006 | 4 | Acid Reflux | Weight gain (75lbs) Low blood platelets, which resulted in severe nosebleeds. High blood pressure. Numbness in right side of my leg (syatica) probably caused by the weight gain. | My doctor has diagnosed me prediabetic. Could Prilosec be contributing to this? Will Actos interact? My doctor doesn't think so. I'm not so sure. Is there any research on this? Any info is appreciated. Please email. Over all I am thankful for the drug,,, so far.. | M | 48 | 3 years | 3/24/2006 | 1 | acid reflux | increased appetite - can't control it, constipation | it is not worth it, I better go for a better diet and take some herbal supplements, but I do not want to be like a fat pig. Since I hav been taking it, my mouth doesn't close, I keep eating. I read some people get depressed after taking this drug. No way I will take it while I am having history of depression!!! | F | 20 | 2 days | 4/1/2006 | 5 | acid reflux | A sudden gain of 4-5 pounds in a couple weeks (without eating more). Loss of usual high energy and drive. Almost daily brief stabbing headaches. | It's wonderful to get rid of the acid reflux but I'm anxious to see if I can resolve the reflux and get off meds altogether. For me, this was a sudden onset last month so I'm getting a work-up. | F | 41 | 3 weeks | 4/10/2006 | 3 | Dyspepsia | Tingling left shoulder and arm. fatigue. Poor concentration and anxiety. | did work on the burning stomach pains, but only after four weeks. | M | 50 | 4 months | 4/11/2006 | 3 | Acid Reflux | Dr. tried Nexium but my tongue swelled and burned, apparently it happens in 1 % of people. He put me on Prilosec otc 20 mgs, didn't help so he put me on 20 mgs twice a day. I still have reflux especially if i bend over or slip and eat anything with fat. I drink tons of water, don't smoke or drink alcohol. I have been researching natural methods. Read a tsp spoon of honey may help, before meals and a tablet called DGL it is derived form licorice. Didn't like reading that it may cause depression since I have felt a little depreesed lately, never thought of the Prilosec. My insurance does cover it if the Dr. writes a script for it, but wow reading all these side effects sure has scared me, but my attacks were so bad made him give me an E.K.G and a stress test, which were fine. Even had an edoscope to see if there was anything else going on, but no. Love to garden how am I not going to bend over? Have gained a few lbs come to think of it. | Definetly going to keep researching some natural ways. Anyone have any luck with the natural route? | F | 61 | 6 months | 4/14/2006 | 2 | heartburn, Reflux, & difficulty swa | stomach unsettled/pains. Gurgley and overall unwell feeling and nausea. I have been off it now 3 days and symptoms aren't all the way gone yet. Stomach still gurgley but nausea is getting better. Changed stools. | try refluxremedy.com, I'm going to! It seems to make a lot of sense!Let me know if it works for you, I'd be glad to share my experience with it too. | F | 36 | 9 days | 4/16/2006 | 2 | acid reflux | Only took it one day. Dizzy, fatigue, chest pain, and nausea. Will not try it again. I had taken Nexium and had dizziness, rapidly changing bolod pressure, chest pain. I suspect they are related. I have no idea what to try next. | F | 50 | 1 days | 4/17/2006 | 4 | stomach acid | Muscle weakness esp. in my shoulders. They feel tired and weak. It helped my heartburn alot. Also, I have some lower bowel gas. | None | M | 59 | 5 weeks | 4/27/2006 | 2 | Reflux | Second day, headaches started just after noon. Third day, another headache just after noon time. Didn't realize the cause until the third day. Headaches are severe, 3 consecutive doses of 800mg Ibuprofin doesn't touch it. I'm coming off the Prilosec tomorrow. | Reflux problem was gone the first day - but headaches are too severe to make it worth taking any more. | M | 47 | 3 days | 4/27/2006 | 5 | Frequent Heart Burn | Non | Worked in one day, I had been taking 4-5 antacids nightly before this | M | 45 | 14 days | 4/30/2006 | 4 | acid reflux | flushed face, pressure headaches (sometimes dull, other times acute), some bowel changes--manageable. Occasional racing and fluttering heart, vaguely unwell feeling, especially in the AM (no, I'm not pregnant!),pangs and itchiness in hands and feet, dizziness, perhaps excess fatigue, perhaps anxiety attacks, perhaps neck/shoulder pain. | I'm glad to read so many share these symptoms, because I was thinking I'm getting diabetes or something. Prilosec works for me on my reflux problem. I've tried to quit it twice, but had to go back to it. My scratchy throat and trouble swallowing was getting bad, but has gone away with Prilosec. But I would have to quit my high-stress teaching job to find out if my fatigue/anxiety is from that or the Prilosec. I dream of retirement like a castaway dreams of a steak dinner! For over 3 weeks I've had chronic neck, lymph nodes and shoulder pain from no cause I'm aware of, which I assumed was unconnected to Prilosec, but now that I've read this website, I'm wondering... | F | 50 | 2 years | 5/3/2006 | 3 | Acid Reflux / Sinus Drainage | Severe upset stomach.. Random stomach pains throughout the day | It did cure the acid reflux, but resulted in other problems. | M | 36 | 10 days | 5/8/2006 | 2 | GERD, gastric ulcers | DIARRHEA!! This has gotten worse over time to where I am now going to take myself off proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and try something else. I have also developed elevated BP and more frequent cardiac dysrhythmias while taking this medication. | I have been taking the 20 mg OTC dose and occasionally the prescription dose on an every-other-day schedule. I tried going off PPIs after my initial GERD/ulcer treatment but the GERD symptoms returned. | F | 53 | 4 years | 5/9/2006 | 4 | acid reflux | nausea,constipation,feeling of stomach not emptying,tingling sensation,bloated,swelling of feet and legs,weight gain. | helped with acid reflux but too many side effects. gained 15 pounds in 3 months and my face started breaking out really bad, I stopped taking it and my face cleared up immediately, but now the acid is back. | F | 30 | 7 months | 5/12/2006 | 4 | bleeding stomach ulcer | Diarrhea after every meal, getting worse as time goes on. Feeling bloated all the time and very gassy. Headaches - getting worse as time goes on. Tiredness. | Worked brilliantly at settling my ulcer pain. I do have 'breakthrough' pain now and then, but I am careful to eat a fairly low fat diet, and don't drink alcohol. The side effects are becoming worse though, particularly the diarrhea, which is worrying if I have to go out! I am considering coming off Omeprazole now, although I get the pain back if I don't take for even one day! Don't know what to do for the best. | F | 47 | 5 months | 5/13/2006 | 4 | frequent heartburn | Headache, dark loose stools | On balance beneficial for me | M | 59 | 30 days | 5/14/2006 |
