Back has started to hurt from additional weight and found it isn't good for your bones. Went off it cold turkey a few days ago & now take 1 Pepcid AC tablet at night and started taking Aloe Vera gels. Will see if the weight comes off and if the Aloe Vera gels & Pepcid AC work. | 2X day | 6/5/2022 | 2 | Sliding Hiatal Hernia-Gerd | I don't know, I always feel fatigued, and it's a very different feeling that I've never known before. I feel weighed down, but also feel hypoglycemic at the same time. It's a strange feeling. I also have diarrhea once a day. But that's about it. If anyone's ever felt any of these symptoms, please say so, It would make me feel much better about it. | 26 | 4 months | 7/23/2009 | 2 | Barrett's Esopagus/Gastric Reflux | Stops working after taking 3 months-Even with increased dosage | 59 | | 6/2/2004 | 1 | Gerd | Fatigue, severe abdominal pain, left and middle quadrant mostly, bloated feeling | Was prescribed 40 mg twice a day, stopped when I felt worse, then restarted it once a day, my gerd is bad, but not worth the pain in my abdomen | 44 | 1 months 40 mg | 2/17/2015 | 1 | Acid reflux | I had only been taking this for 2 days and I started to feel pins and needles in my arms and legs! but realized that it was a symptom of the protonix I was taking!! I do not recommend this medication unless you want to feel like you have inflamed nerves all over your body | 39 | 2 days 1 a day | 6/23/2020 | 1 | Gerd and gastritis | High blood pressure, muscle Weakness all over! | Don’t touch this pill, the Side effects stays with you even after u stop taking it!! It been a month and the Side effects still with me!

First day, I felt a bit better - actually had an appetite for the first time in a while. It's been downhill since. I can't sleep, and I can't stay asleep. My body just HURTS all over, and I can't stop shaking - I feel like I'm vibrating. Then today, I forgot where I parked my car twenty minutes after I parked. And I can't remember the password to my computer that I have to enter 4 times an hour. This is miserable. I can't do my job right now. I've been in a fog since Friday, and I haven't passed a bowel movement to boot. So on top of the discomfort from this medication, I'm horribly bloated and can't eat. My body won't stop twitching. I can't focus at all. | 30 | 4 days 40mg 1X day | 9/17/2018 | 1 | Severe gastritis | This medication made me hurt all over. Pain in right side. I quit taking it 3 days ago and pain is gone. But I still feel like I am going crazy. I was ok for two days but crazy feeling is back. Couldn't sleep a full night while on this. Would never recommend this to anyone | 70 | 21 days 40 mg | 10/10/2017 | 5 | Gastritis | The only side affect I have is tiredness. This has taking away my gas issues that feel trapped inside my stomach. Now I can burp and get my gas out. I also used to have attacks and completely gone. I had a lot of acid in my stomach and this completely took it away. I had my issue for a year and I told the GI this is what I have and he said try protonix. | This worked for me!!! Saved my life from attacks. Only side effect tiredness. Now I can eat regular food. | F | 40 | 40 days 40 mg 1X day | 11/8/2020 | 5 | Gerd hitial hernia | Tingling in extremities muscle spasms headaches nauseous off balance joint pain diarrhea | Haven't been able to understand what's going on been on fir 4 months was ok at first but now my muscles are going crazy numbness stopped taking cold turkey 2 days ago I can't believe this | F | 36 | 4 months 40 1X day | 5/10/2021 | 5 | Gastritis | Terrible headache, tiredness, sleepiness, aching pain in leg. | Worked well at first but not as good now. Will stop when pills run out Had 30 day supply. | F | 66 | 16 days 40 1X day | 6/3/2021 | 5 | Reflux | Zero side effects | This reflux med is the only one that helped take away the acid! Highly recommended and hoping it goes OTC because the generic versions are just not the same! | F | 48 | 10 years 40mg | 7/1/2015 | 5 | GERD | Not sure if my symptoms r related to the med. but I eat organically run 6 miles and lift weights....never been ill. One month after being on the generic developed numbness in toes then went to feet with pains up my leg. Numbness constant. Then tremors in my hands and weird sensations in my arms especially left arm. Went to a neurologist he said I have neuropathy genetic because my mother has it and no diabetic family history. But now I'm afraid it may be MS. Hope it's the meds. But can't be sure. The numbness , they say, only accounts for 1% and it's rare. | F | 65 | 65 days 40 1X day | 9/16/2014 | 5 | GERD | This med has made my life a lot better. I have finally found a med that makes me not feel nauseated all day and it has stopped my cramping. Before I tried it, I was very nauseated all day long. I felt like I was pregnant. This has been a life saver for me and I am glad I found this ! | Love it ! | F | 58 | 10 years 60 mg | 1/31/2015 | 5 | acid reflux | Very effective for me. Was having chest pains so severe that I was admitted to hospital for heart tests but all were ok. Was put on protonix and haven't had any more problems. This is the only acid reflex medicine that worked for me. | F | 56 | 8 months 40 mg | 10/26/2014 |
PROTONIX (PANTOPRAZOLE SODIUM): Pantoprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. This medication relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. It helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Pantoprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). FDA Approval Date: 2000-02-02 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
