Second day, I was trembling like a BOMB, nauseas and could barely take WATER. Threw up stomach acid since I couldn't stomach anything. I eventually had to go BACK to the ER, where they told me yes it's the side effects of the drug. DON'T. TAKE. THIS. I ended up being prescribed XANAX because of this, and I've never ever needed it. It's my first day off or and my body is so weak.

PREVACID (LANSOPRAZOLE): Lansoprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux, ulcers). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. This medication helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Lansoprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). FDA Approval Date: 1995-05-10 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
