| 1 | Gallbladder attacks, bile reflux | Terrible headache, leg cramps, constipation, edema, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, palpitations, constant feeling of coming down with a cold/flu (plugged ears, sinus pain, sore throat). | Completely resolved the reflux & pain! I thought this was a miracle drug! IT ISN'T! Such severe headaches (I get migraines), I have seriously felt like I've been hit in the head & it's going to explode from the pressure. I wish it hadn't taken a month to figure out it was this poison! | F | 40 | 4 weeks 20 | 1/17/2016 | 5 | stomach probs/duodenum inflamation | Hunger, lump in upper back of throat, sleepiness which may or may not be related to medication. | All of us are unique just as our body chemistry is unique within us. All of the horrible side effects I'm reading here I began experiencing within 1 dose of omeprazole, another PPI, along with a weird odor like a musty incense was stuck in my nostril. I couldn't sleep, I had anxiety, I was severely constipated for 3 days & I had severe muscle pain, especially in my arms. At one point my chest got so heavy I thought I was having a heart attack. THAT WAS AFTER ONLY ONE DOSE of Omeprazole. I just began Protonix 2 weeks ago, but had previously taken it for 1 full year w/out complications. This time around I do have a slight lump in my throat, which seems to be subsiding. Other than that, I feel like I'm starving to death all the time. It's wonderful! I don't care if I gain 20 pounds. After being nauseous for so long 24 hours a day, day in and day out, with severe stomach pain every time I ate, I love being able to actually eat a meal and not feel sick. The bottom line is, if you have severe symptoms that can cause problems like bleeding ulcers or cancer from chronic inflammation and one PPI don't work for you, you should try another. Also, if you notice severe onset of new or worsening symptoms, it's more likely related to your newest medicine. As soon as I noticed the horrible symptoms after one dose of omeprazole I stopped taking it immediately and my doctor prescribed the Protonix again. Some of us have no choice but to take these medications. I have no stomach linin | F | 49 | 1 years 40 mg | 1/7/2016 | 1 | GERD | 4 hours after taking first pill I went to the er thought I was having a heart attack and was having muscle twitches, diagnosed with incomplete right bundle branch block in my heart which I didn't have 4 days prior.
