| 1 | Acid Reflux | Chest pain / numbness in hands and feet / dizziness/ sensitive to light and sounds / feeling weak | I was moved to Aciphex from prilosec - Within two weeks my hands would go from ice cold to flamming hot. I would wake up feeling awkward and dizzy. Aciphex did not make much of a difference with my reflux. Found out I may actually have chronic esophagus spasms. Stay away from this drug - these posts are very accurate. | M | 33 | 2 weeks 30 mg 1X D | 1/26/2011 | |
| 1 | Acid Reflux | Follow up to previous post | So I have been off Aciphex for two days now - all symptoms have subsided. I no longer have the hot and cold flashes in my hands and numbness in my feet. I woke up today feeling very well. While this drug may be very effective and for some it may work just fine with no side effects, it was a horrible time for me. Please use caution when taking this medication. | M | 33 | 30 mg 1X D | 1/27/2011 | |
