| 3 | Inflamed esophagus | Unbearable headaches, racing heart, insomnia, constipation, weight loss.. | Worked well for the first two weeks then the headaches began, pain like I’ve not experienced before. Laying still my whole body would pulsate and the palpitations were scary. Interrupted sleep and vivid unpleasant dreams which I assume are related. I was eating well and regularly but could not gain weight and I had lost a lot prior to taking the meds due to my irritated esophagus. I stopped taking the meds yesterday and still have the headache although it’s less intense. I was supposed to be on these pills 3 more weeks but the headaches alone are unbearable. | M | 47 | 24 days 40 1X day | 6/16/2020 | 1 | GERD | Terrible headache, nausea, brain fog, extreme irritability, anger, depression, Blurry vision , anxiety | I have been on this poison for 2 days. I have experienced all the symptoms above in the span 2 days, and I am getting off the drug. Please do not take this Drug. I am so glad I found this site, thank god for it. I have read every review and I am worried the side effects of taking this Drug for even a couple of days will last weeks. I am so mad Docotors prescribe this to people. | M | 27 | 2 days 40mg | 5/17/2020 | 1 | Suspected GERD | Severe bloating, stomach pain, severe pain in middle of back, constant indigestion in chest, headache, ringing in ears (tinnitus), insomnia, panic attacks. | Was prescribed pantoprazole because my DR suspected I had GERD. Was getting indigestion a couple times a week and had slight tingling in throat prior to taking this. By lunch day 1 the indigestion hit me, tons if gas/bloating in my stomach and chest. Burped for almost 4 hours none stop and could not clear the pressure. Second day felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach couldnt eat anything. Day 3 back pain and headache joined the party and by day 6 I had a panic attack and my ears starting ringing. Quit on day 7 and its taken 2 weeks for side effects to subside although my ears are still ringing. Since taking this I cant tolerate gluten and some types of dairy anymore. 2 DRs told me it was impossible that this drug did this to me. Please do your own research before taking this as the list of side effects are a lot longer then you will be told or better yet try any and all natural remedies and diet changes first. 2 tsps of apple cider vinegar diluted in a small glass of water 20 minutes before meals has been working for me. | M | 33 | 7 days 40 MG | 5/11/2020 | 1 | LPR | This drug made me suicidal. My anxiety got so bad after taking this, I just wanted to end everything. Never had problems prior to taking it. Was on Nexium initially got off and did great with Zantac. With the recall my Dr. put me on Protonix. I'm a normal person who enjoyed life, my family and traveling. Slowly each week I became more jittery. Constant anxiety, racing thoughts. Sleeping only 2 hours a night. Wake up with heart pounding. Went to ER and was in tachycardia but they told me it was because I was dehydrated. I lost 15 lbs from no appetite and my throat feels like I have rubber band around it. Can barely eat solid foods. I stopped taking it two days ago, and at least I feel like I don't want to crawl out of my skin, but still very anxious. Feel horrible for my family and daughter. Cannot even concentrate to be present with them. How long will this last? I'm scared I'll never eat again or go back to normal self. | F | 45 | 6 weeks 40 2x | 4/9/2020 | 1 | I was taking it for acid reflux. | I thought the pill was great. It really helped...after one month, my daughter kept questioning me, " Mom what is wrong with you" your so angry for no reason...I was getting very concerned about the heart palpitations and fast heart rate. I was not myself!!! I already have panic attacks and my Dr. had to raise my medicine. I'm feeling like I'm out of control with concentration, coordination, anger, heart, can't think straight, can't sleep...well, I got my refill February 6th and when it was due this month march 6 2020 my pharmacy told me my Dr. Put a cancelation on it... So, it is now the 25th of march and I pray all this stops.

My kidney hurt and my arms became tingling and numb. I’m quitting this medicine immediately. Does anyone know how long it takes to feel normal again?
