| 5 | LPR | I get muscle pain ,and I'm dehydrated, I don't know if it's from the medication, I'm drinking water 3 liter a day minimum and coconut water too . I'm going take 30gm for 2 weeks and get off it .lost 25 pounds too. Well hopefully everything goes good ! | Did anyone else get dehydrated with this medicine I would like to know. | M | 60 | 5 weeks 60 mg 1X day | 5/18/2023 | 5 | Gerd | This was the only drug that worked for me! I've been taking it for over 10 years. Suddenly the label changed and I notice it says it is now made in Germany. The medicine no longer works for me. It's as if I'm not taking it at all. My reflux has returned and extreme gastro problems. I'm horribly upset. | About two years ago I took Cipro along with Dexilant. My B12 levels crashed and I got severe peripheral neuropathy. It took about a year to go away after I discovered the B12 issue and started taking B12 supplements. So be forewarned ... don’t mix the two drugs. | M | 57 | 12 years 60 1X day | 9/5/2020 | 5 | EE | Gas, throw up so much acid every morning, tired, My enamal is coming off my teeth really bad!! It did heel my EE! Dr said I would probably have to take it for a very long time. | F | 64 | 6 months 60 | 6/14/2020 | 5 | GERD gas bloating | After years of medication and $30 thousand dollars of test. This is the only drug that allows me to finally feel normal, pain free no more coughing or acid waking me. | I hate taking medication. But this drug WORKS, I’m so thankful my doctor gave me a few to take and it helped with in minutes of taking the sample | F | 54 | 21 days 60mg | 3/25/2019 | 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 | 1/2/2019 | 5 | GERD | none | only thing that worked on the GERD | F | 67 | 365 days 60 1X day | 9/28/2018 | 5 | Acid Reflux | Constipation,Vertigo off balance feeling every now and then, Bad Anxiety that became worse into week 3, slight depression starting week 2, bloating after 3 weeks after eating, bad dreams, fatigue, night sweats after 3rd week and constantly waking up, really bad cold chills after week 2.5, prickly needle feelings started on my legs now up my back and head sometime, and leg pain and muscle aches. | Other then the side effects it worked great, but not worth the pain. | M | 48 | 4 weeks 60mg | 4/18/2018 | 5 | Acid reflux | Sour mouth, nausea, constant burning in my chest/throat. | Within the first day I felt a difference. I have tried so many different acid reducers medication and this one has been the only that has worked. I don't have any side effects. I'm so glad my doctor recommended it!!! | F | 29 | 2 days 30MG 1X day | 9/13/2017 | 5 | Gerd | No side effects at all. Symptoms greatly reduced or gone. Thank you for relief, finally. | F | 50 | 1 days | 8/22/2016 | 5 | GERD | No side effects from this drug | This drug has helped my GERD tremendously. No more acid stomach and no side effects at all. Been on it three years now and will continue. It lasts about 21-22 hours as I feel acidy a few hours before waking.

Occasional trouble sleeping. | I tried several other medicines before going to 40mg of Omeprazole and that didn't completely alleviate my symptoms, my doctor gave me dexilant samples and they worked great, with my insurance and a discount card the dexilant is actually cheaper than OTC medicine that doesn't even work as well! | M | 18 | 1 months 60mg | 2/9/2015 | 5 | severe GERD, bloating, gas | None | This drug has allowed me to eat normally with minimal GERD for the first time in many years. I have a connective tissue disease (overlap syndrome) and have some stricture of my esophagus. I was underweight before taking the drug because of all my symptoms. I have since gained several pounds and feel better than ever.

Endoscopies and gastroenterologist were useless.so were all the meds which eventually seemed like they made the situation worse so I stopped taking them. My GP finally gave me a sample of dexilant.. I took it for 3 months and then my insurance company decided I didn't need it. I haven't had a twinge of heartburn since the first capsule and I have been off the meds for 2 months.

DEXILANT (DEXLANSOPRAZOLE): Dexlansoprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux). 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. Dexlansoprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). FDA Approval Date: 2009-01-30 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
