Three minutes after taking I started shaking and I mean shaking for 12 hours, and I had to call my doctor who told me to stop immediately.

If a drop touched my lips from a glass my face instantly flushed and swelled and was very painful for hours. | F | 43 | 2 years | 9/13/2014 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Small welts all over body with INTENSE itching all over. It is like I rolled in poison ivy or was covered in bed bugs (never have been but this is what I imagine that would feel like) - Took some Benadryl and it helped for awhile.

My family thought I was having a nervous breakdown. First two days were fine but next five were hell. | F | 70 | 7 days 60 1X day | 10/5/2014 | 1 | acid reflex | Within a half hour of taking Dexilant my throat started to close and I broke out in patchy red blotches,it was so bad I had to call 911. I wish I read up on it before I put it in my mouth, allergic reactions are common, be careful! | F | 30 | 1 days 60mg | 10/24/2014 | 1 | Gerd | Severe nausea, Severe abdominal pain/stomach pain, RUQ pain, pain in right shoulder blade, depression, anxiety, constipation, shooting chest pain up right breast. | I would not recommend the drug. The side effects put me in the hospital for 3 days. When we asked the Dr's if the dexilant could be causing these side effects they all said no. Listen to your body and always get a second opinion! | F | 41 | 2 months 60mg | 11/3/2014 | 1 | gerd | Everything was great at the beginning with Dexilant then sinus drainage, mouth so sore it felt like I had been chewing glass.

Believe thus drug is making me worse and will no longer take it. | F | 67 | 1 days 60 mg | 1/10/2015 | 2 | Just not better | F | 62 | 5 days 60mg | 1/17/2015 | 2 | Erosive Esophagitis | An insidious headache lasting all day, slight nausea and a depressed mood. | This drug caused me to feel markedly depressed. It did improve my condition, but with all the symptoms, at least those I personally experienced, I could not continue taking this drug, and would be guarded to recommend it to anyone.. | M | 36 | 1 days 60 | 1/27/2015 | 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. 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 60 mg 1X day | 2/1/2015 | 5 | GERD and Damaged Esophagus. | Anxiety (nothing too bad), stomach pain/cramps, still much better than what I was experiencing without it. 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 | 3 | Heartburn | Increased anxiety and trouble sleeping. Dry mouth. Poor sexual performance immediately noticeable and persistent. I think this drug is too strong for my relatively moderate heartburn.

Dr.could not find reason for pain . began to subside when quit dexilant . also weight gain . | I do not recommend . toxic over time .i changed my diet . no fried food . pepcid ac . safe for bones .

TOXIC ! | F | 55 | 5 years 60 then 30 | 3/13/2015 | 1 | gastritis | Been using dexilant for a week am starting to feel ok but suddenly i had bloating and too much gas in my stomach it hurts and got bad diarrhea.... and lose my appetite and had terrible headache. | F | 37 | 7 days 60mg | 4/2/2015 | 1 | GERD/Hernia | After being diagnosed with GERD because of a possible unconfirmed yet bacteria and hernia. I was given this sample of Dexilant. (I had prior taken Nexium for acid reflux in my throat before my endoscopy. I took the 14 day otc course of it and it was not worth the side effects that were similar to what I dealt with on Dexilant) Immediately after taking this i experienced within one hour shortness of breath, slight dizziness, and feeling faint. Throughout the day I would feel uneasy, itchy, and indigestion although just like the nexium it help relieve a little acid and I could eat a bit more but felt easily full because of the indegestion :(. The most scary thing is that. Around the midnight mark of that same day i felt severe allergy/asthma symptons. I do have seasonal allergies that can meke me feel like this but not this extreme and escalate so fast. I was fine then BAM extreme sneezing, wheezing, chest tightness, itchy eyes, and extremmmme stuffy nose. I got so scared I would | ummm never again...no PPIs for me... alkaline diet, herbs & research for me! | F | 26 | 1 days 60mg 1X day | 4/18/2015 |
