It was a very detached sort of depression, but overwhelming. I stopped taking the Protonix, and these thoughts went away pretty quickly. No history of depression prior to that, or since. | F | 45 | 1 months 20 MG 1X day | 12/31/2012 | 5 | Acid Reflux | No side effects. Been taking daily for 10 years for chronic reflux. Great med. | M | 34 | 10 years 40 mg | 12/27/2012 | 4 | GERD | Everything was Great for Years, No GERD. I switched to Dexilent which is Even better but my insurance dropped it and it costs $2,000/ yr.

It helped slightly, but not as much as nexium did. After ten days I decided to switch back to nexium. Now my doctor thinks he was wrong all along and that I really have lazy gallbladder. If you ae experiencing these symptoms and your other tests are normal, ask about lazy gallbladder. | F | 15 | 10 days 20 mg 2x | 10/4/2012 | 5 | Bleeding Gastric Ulcer | Tired, Burping, Gas, Nausea | I had very servere bleeding ulcers that kept me in ICU for nearly a month, I had 3 surgeries, and they placed me on protonix to reduce the acid in my stomach.

Diarreah up to 4 times a day, numbness in my toes, very vivid nightmares, and severe headaches. I was having to take pepto bismol up to 3 times a day to counteract having to use the restroom. | F | 21 | 1 weeks 20 | 6/18/2012 | 3 | GERD, reflux, heart burn | my god, after reading what some are saying I am stopping ASAP Now I know why my right eye is has been bothering me and no one can tell me what's going on with it. Body, muscle and joint pain coming out of nowhere, like fibro/MS sysmptoms. It has worked to stop the GERD and reflux - but I think it is killing me slowly in other ways. My hips have started hurting and my toes all give me pain first thing in the morning. Wlking is getting tougher. I will be slowly stopping this and monitoring my progress. Thank you all for your rating of this product, your comments may have saved my life or at least improved it! | M | 62 | 4 years 20 mg 1X day | 5/9/2012 | 2 | GERD | Leg cramps, ears ringing | F | 29 | 2 months 40 MG | 5/7/2012 | 1 | Gastritis from H. Pylori | Protonix a little bit of tingling, muscle spasms, bad muscle pains, anxiety, and depression. | I've tried all PPI's and don't know what to do to cure the gastritis. | M | 28 | 3 weeks 40MG 1X day | 4/17/2012 | 4 | acid reflux | low energy, jittery, stomach issues | I've been on Protonix almost continuously for the past 8 years. I had started taking it on an as needed basis but then developed gastritis and went back on the daily dose. The last few months I've been having diarrhea after every meal. Dr suspected I was suffering from malabsorption based on symptoms. I went off all medications in preparation for a stool study and once I stopped the Protonix, things returned to normal. After a few days of heartburn I took Protonix for 2 days, and the stomach issues came back. Dr suggested I stop the Protonix fully and go with an OTC product for a while to see if we can identify Protonix as the root cause. Otherwise malabsorption and back to 14 pills of digestive enzymes a day. | M | 42 | 8 years 40 MG 1X day | 4/13/2012 | 3 | acid reflux/chest pains due to acid | headache radiating to neck. Tired. Took it for months at a time off and on and stopped when stomach bloating would begin to occurr every morning. went off of it for a few months and when started again due to nagging reflux chest pain the headaches were obviously triggered from the med after daily morning dose. Would last through evening and be gone by morning until i took next dose. | I went back on protonix this time because of acid/chest pain that has been bothering me off an on daily (some days hardly at all though). I got off of Klonipin (benzo) and reflux pain became constant due to withdrawal. Tried protonix to see if it would help that symptoms - it did take the pain away, but the darn headache is bugging me everyday since i started taking it again. Had no headache this morning, took the Protonix, and now headache and neck is stiff. Also tired a while after taking it and get vision problems too - can't focus. Guess i will get off of them again and see if the reflux gets better the longer i am off the klonopin. | F | 45 | 1 years 40 mg 1X day | 4/5/2012 | 1 | Acid Reflux/GERD | Belching, High Blood Pressure, Severe Headache, Back Pain, Tired and etc. | I went to clinic due severe headache. It was sinus infection but I think Protonix got me good side effects. I will never take this again so I switch back to Nexium. | F | 44 | 4 weeks 40 MG 1X day | 4/4/2012 | 1 | Acid Reflux/GERD | It irritated my lungs and caused a slight burning sensation for about 9 hours after taking it. | I tried it several times, but each time it caused burning in my lungs. I was able to tolerate Aciphex and Zegerid just fine, however. | M | 49 | 3 days 40 MG. 1X day | 2/6/2012 |
