 1  Hiatus Hernia causing severe Reflux An hour after taking the capsule, whole body felt very strange, Pulse rate went up to over 80 (normally 65) Awful migraine, Gas build up in the large colon is painful. Felt very sick so took a slice of Ginger to chew which helped. Now, 6 hours later feel totally spaced out with pressure across the chest, sneezing, GIT Pains, very loose stool. This was recommended to me by a doctor after he wanted to give me Pantoprazole 40 MG. My experience with Pantoprazole over years has been bad but this Dexilant is even worse. Nightmares with muscle and bone pains make sleep almost impossible. Today is my 2nd and last day of taking this product. M 78 2 days

 3  Achalasia gerd I have taken this medicine for several years for Achalasia and acid reflux. The first GI Dr told me to take it before my biggest meal of my he day and the last one said no!

 3  Gerd Dizzy, dry mouth, nausea, constipation, headache Started taking this drug for acid reflux. I started on 30 mg and after a while it didn’t help so my gastroenterologist increased the dosage to 60 mg. This helped for a while but again my dr wanted to increase to 90 mg. I refused to take 90 mg. I’ve been trying to ween myself off this drug for so long and just can’t seem to succeed. I hate it and wish I had never started taking it. Trying to adjust my diet and that helps a bit but still taking 30 mg daily. I think the pharmaceutical companies make sure you will not be able to do without it. Very frustratung F 72 5 years
60 mg 1X day

 1  Gerd moderate Gas, increasing dizziness and vertigo the past week and a half. Dexilant solved the Gerd problem but the vertigo makes it unacceptable. Had been taking Nexium 60 mg for past 10 years, but was beginning to lose its effectiveness. M 70 33 days
60 mg 1X day

 5  Acid Reflux No side effects at all, It worked and I rarely had any issues regarding my acid reflux. It has gotten so ridiculously expensive 407 dollars for 90 days and that is with good insurance. Can not afford so am now switching to omeprazole in the morning and a pepcid before bed. Not sure how that will all turn out. Fingers crossed. M 69 12 years
60 1X day
