There's no way this should be legal. I was prescribed this in the ER after having severe heart pains. I am already diagnosed with PTSD and Major Depression, and the doctors did not tell me about any of this horrific side effects. First day was fine. 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. Email me if you want to discuss! | F | 19 | 3 days 20mg 1xD 1X day | 7/14/2020 | 1 | GERD | Severe Tremors, Unshakable Nausea, Brain Fog, Confusions (Liam, my boyfriend, was concerned as multiple times through the day I could not remember where I was/what was happening, Extreme Panic Attacks - I am already diagnosed with PTSD and MDD (major depressive Disorder) and this made me feel like I was dying, Heart Palpitations, Severely increased heart rate, Inability to walk/function Inability to swallow | hell drug. don't FUCKING TAKE. | F | 20 | 3 days 20mg 1xD 1X day | 7/14/2020 | 1 | Acid reflux | It started off good then loose stool.head ache body ache.depression,aniexty, stomach tight lost apitite... | 46 | 11 days 15 | 12/11/2019 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Fatigue, High Blood Pressure, Mood swings, sleep problems. | I have been on this medicine since it came out for acid reflux problems. Every time I went to the Dr's office, was told my blood pressure was thru the roof, I am fit and exercise, and don't drink. And no history of blood pressure issues in my family. I also would have fatigue every day after lunch, and had a long list of foods that I could no longer eat, which I could eat before i started on prevacid. After years of being on this stuff, I quit taking it. Suddenly after 2 weeks, blood pressure is now normal, fatigue is gone, and sleeping thru the night. Went back to Zantac, and have none of the issues. Prevacid is an insidious medicine. An enemy from within, be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | M | 63 | 15 years 30 mg 2X day | 3/22/2019 | 1 | Acid reflux | At first it was great, then started having partial complex seizures, depression, memory problems , mood swings and anxiety. All of which I had never had before. being on this pill. Also have a swollen face, for years. | Now I keep reading that all my issues are from being on Prevacid for over ten years, and taking 2 pills everyday. Wish I never heard of this drug. It did stop the acid reflux, but so did Zantac, which did not have all these dangerous side effects. | 60 | 10 days 30MG 2X day | 3/19/2019 | 1 | Heartburn | About 20 minutes after taking it, I suddenly felt as if someone poured racing fuel on me and lit me on fire!!! I was rubbing all over as if to put myself out, and it was a full body thing. By the time I got to the hospital I looked as if I had severe sunburn I was so red. We had stopped and gotten liquid Benedryl on the way and took a large dose of it. Finally it kicked in and the sensation eased off. I now will literally walk on other side of the isle from the display, lol Back to shot of vinegar and mustard.... | F | 45 | 1 times 30mg 1X day | 5/17/2018 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Anxiety, Nervousness, Insomnia | At first everything worked pretty well. The longer I took it, the more my anxiety, nervousness, an insomnia increased. I thought I was getting depressed and actually went to a psychiatrist who prescribed an antidepressant, and things got worse. I cut all meds cold turkey, and my anxiety went away. This drug works great for my daughter, just not for me. | F | 53 | 2 months 30MG 1X day | 10/30/2016 |
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)
