 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

 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

 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

 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. I am very thankful that this drug exists because I did not have good results with any other drug on the market. F 53 3 years

 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. I take the pill every day 5am. F 56 3 years

 4  GERD none It's the only medication that relieves my GERD symptoms. I've tried just about everything else. My only complaint is the cost. Even with Medicare Part D, it's incredibly expensive. M 66 3 years

 1  Reflux-heartburn unreal All I read so far. -few! My worse problem is the dizziness. Virtigo that renders you bed ridden hiding under covers in dark, no water no food no life, over 36 hrs. Cannot walk or you fall. No balance. Causing dehydration! Puke tons dark yellow bile. Terrible Stomach upset with sweating spells & cold spells too. It removes the reflux symtoms as did Nexium but the side effects are not worth it! Before this for 12 years I was on Nexium got the exact same results. Severe Virtigo. The day I stopped is day Virtigo left me! But I only manage a few months the heart burn was terrible. Could not eat. Changed to Pantaloc, did not work for my reflux. Dr change it to Dexilent. Now my nightmare sickness has returned after being in it two years. Big pharma laughing their way to the bank at our expence. All I read so far. -few! My worse problem is the dizziness.

 5  Hiatal hernia, acid reflux Kapidex, now known as Dexilant, is the BEST medicine I have ever taken for my hiatal hernia and acid reflux. My gastroenterologist put me on every medicine and finally decided to try this new one. It's amazing, and keeps all my symptoms away (which were so severe that I lost 10 lbs and couldn't function). I was so happy to have found this pill. My insurance company put up quite a fight and did not want to pay for it and made me try all other pills--which failed. Finally got approved for it. I have not had any side effects. It has only helped and cured my symptoms--not created others. F 22 2 years

 4  Gastritis, GERD I really have not had any noticeable side effects while taking Dexilant. I love dexilant. I was prescribed 60 mg twice a day. I took these religiously, and within a week, my GERD symptoms improved greatly. The only negative thing, is that nothing else works for me, and once I stop taking it, all the progress is lost, and I feel just as worse as I did before my treatment. I have read that dexilant is not a medication that is intended for long term use, so I tried to get off of it, since I was feeling so great. A month after stopping it, I feel almost worse than I did before I started it. It didn’t heal me long term, but during treatment, I feel almost normal when taking it. F 21 2 years

 4  Gastritis, stomach polyps, GERD Diarrhea & frequent loose bowel movements at 60 mg dose with forgetfulness x 1 year. Now at 30 mg dose, memory improved but dealing with constipation, gas/bloating & always feel like bowels aren't completely empty. It has controlled my reflux very well, allowing me to enjoy a few alcoholic beverages on the weekend and occasional mexican & italian foods. Still can't drink coffee (even decaf), but switched to tea and that's been fine. I suppose it's worth the gas & bloating side effects. F 42 2 years

 4  GERD/Esophagitus none Taking as alternative to Reglan which caused depression and anxiety. Kapidex (now known as Dexilant) has worked well. I have few symptoms of GERD, only when I overeat or eat stuff I shouldn't, and I believe my esophagus is actually healing. Works far better than Nexium or anything else I've tried. M 61 2 years

 3  chronic acid reflux It has worked great for acid reflux but after taking it for a year, I'm over 50 years old and have osteoporosis. It has effected my B12 levels (low) and made my osteoporosis worse. Now we are checking my magnesium levels. My liver is fine. I am having cramping, nausea, constipation and diarrhea. After doing research these are all side effects of dexilant. Dexilant is the only drug that has worked for my acid reflux. Not sure what to do now. It a while for insurance to approve this drug. My doctor doesn't usually prescripe it. F 56 2 years

 3  hiatal hernia acid reflux very bad scalp irritation. anything that touched my head would cause pain.i occasionally felt the cloudy brain side effect as well as disoriented. I frequently had to go to the bathroom which disrupted my sleep. very crazy dreams to top it off. Lastly, another very annoying issue is the anal irritation it caused me. it tremendously helped my acid reflux. However like other people mentioned it was not worth the side effects M 28 2 years

 2  GERD nausea, chest pain,very bad constipation after taking it for 6 mos; the depression is also very bad. The side effects were minimal for the first 6 mos or so, then they got very bad. The constipation is the worst as is the nausea. It's to the point now where I need to stop taking it. The drug is OK, but not worth the side effects when you cannot eat because of the nausea. The constiptation is also awful. The worst side effects is the depression. I recommend finding a new drug as this one is simply not worth it. At first there were no side effects, but they slowly got very bad. Trust me and avoid this drug and find one you can stay with in the long run. I'm going back to something like Nexium if that will work. M 45 1.5 years

 5  Gerd/ Acid-reflux Very mild SE's Some dizzyness, occassional head pain, loose stools and cramping or constipation both mild. A little insomnia. This is a great medicine with minimal side effects, thus far after a year. They are more annoying than anything. This keeps away the burn for several days after a dose and knocks out acute attacks well. I still take an occasional Tums, but I have been on all OTC medicines and Aciphex, and this is the best and most effective. Take this in the morning with food for best results and to avoid sleeplessness. M 34 1 years
