| 1 | Erosive Eosophagitis | Dizziness/Lightheaded, Headaches, Nausea, Weakness of limbs, Fogginess and Anxiety | I thought I was not sensitive to meds ... well when I started having all these effects I had to think twice; when reading through the medication specification sheet it seemed harmless and suddenly my life was upside down and I felt I was dying or having some terrible disease. I am still not finished with all those terrifying tests but so far the doctors don't think I have anything more serious than the EE. I have to come to this website every day to convince myself this is just nasty side effects and it will be over soon as it appears this stuff can stay bound to blood carriers for weeks after stopping it. I sure hope it is the case and I do not have to go on this poison ever again. | F | 43 | 2 weeks 40 mg 2X day | 10/8/2010 | 5 | IBS/GERD after intestinal virus | The protonix healed my gut, but gave me 24/7 anxiety. I also lost my libido and ability to have an orgasm. Shortly after I began to wean off my daily dose these side effects disappeared. I will end the protonix this weekend. Grateful for the drug, but glad not to have to take it longer. | F | 56 | 2 months 40mg 1X day | 9/20/2010 | 2 | ulcer due to antibiotics | racing heart, nervousness, muscle spasms, severe abdomen pain, pressure in chest | F | 30 | 3 days 40 1X day | 9/18/2010 | 1 | Reflux | Severe urethral pain, thought I had a UTI. Lab work was negative for that. | Did not help the severe burning, sensation of a lump in the throat, and acid-eating feeling at all. | F | 61 | 17 days 30 MG 2X day | 9/16/2010 | 4 | acid reflex | Had 65 gastric polyps removed. Stomach was clear one year ago. Internet artical on gastric polyps states caused from proton pump medications | F | 79 | 2 years 40 1X day | 9/14/2010 | 3 | acid reflux | tingling in hands and feet,twitching, aching joints, chronic lower back pain. | protonix helped with the acid reflux but gave me a whole lot of other side effects. i love to play sports but find it so difficult because of the achy joints. i want to stop taking protonix but the acid reflux is to bad due to my ibs thinking of surgery. | M | 31 | 7 years 40mg 2X day | 9/6/2010 | 2 | reflux | Severe rash, it burns and itches | other reflux meds did the same thing, guess I am allergic | F | 55 | 4 weeks 1X day | 9/3/2010 | 2 | internal stomach bleeding | None | the dosage is not strong enough, but my insurance company will not let me have two a day like the doctor recommended. It's hell dealing with the Insurance companies on this. | M | 52 | 2 years 30 mg 1X day | 8/7/2010 | 3 | Acid Reflux | None at first. Now I have tingling in the lower legs and left arm. Never attributed my tingling with this medication until I read the review. | Protonix worked for the Acid Reflux. | F | 40 | 7 weeks 1X day | 8/2/2010 | 1 | Gastritis | Lower back pain. Joint pain in knuckles on my right hand. | The medicine treated my Gastritis but brought with it side-effects that made it not worth continuing | M | 30 | 6 months 40MG 1X day | 7/19/2010 | 5 | GERD / Acid Reflux | None | I took protonix on a couple of occasions for stomach issue relief when I was younger. I did not experience any noticeable side effects. It was effective for it's intended use (mostly acid reduction) and was a great med for me. | M | 23 | 14 days ? 1X day | 7/12/2010 | 1 | Acid Reflux | EXTREME fatigue and dizziness- I can hardly move around in bed or stand up without feeling like I am going to faint and I am so tired I can hardly function! Headaches, loss of appetite and this is making my high blood pressure worse | This med definitely helps my Acid Reflux but as the others have previously stated, the side effects are far far worse than the relief of sypmtoms! | F | 29 | 14 days 40 mg 1X day | 7/12/2010 | 5 | Chronic Acid Reflux | Absolutely none! | Excellent drug. So long as I miss a dose (which I don't because of how important it is for me to take), I have ZERO reflux problems. This is a lesser known Rx than the "purple pills", but I have convinced many people to ask their doctors for it instead and they have been extremely satisfied with the results. | M | 31 | 9 years 40 MG 1X day | 7/5/2010 | 5 | GERD, acid reflux | No side effects other than complete relief of horrible acid reflux. | I have had acid problems since I was about 19. It would wake me up at night choking on the acid that had gotten into my throat & lungs. I tried OTC products, but then the dr. prescribed Protonix. Taken regularly, I have NO signs of any sort of acid issues. I had briefly stopped taking it to try and save money, but when I had my gallbladder removed last month, the doctor insisted that I return to my Protonix regimen. Still works great. Worth the extra dough. | F | 30 | 5 years 40 MG 1X day | 6/25/2010 | 5 | Gastritis/GERD | None | Protonix is great. I have no side effects. My doc prescribed it to me after Prevacid wasn't strong enough. I'm not healed yet, but gastritis takes a long time. | F | 25 | 6 months 40 1X day | 6/21/2010 | 1 | stomach ulcer, acid reflux | Always tired, dizzyness, Extreme migranes after stopping, body aches, tingling in left arm and face, left eye twitching. | I havent been properly diagnosed yet, but i went to the E.R. because i had an allergic reaction to prevacid. they put me on protonix as a replacement. After i saw GI specialist, he put me on some other meds. I thought the other meds where causing all the bad side effects, but after stopping those, i knew it had to be the protonix. Terrible medicine, Ill never take it again. | M | 19 | 7 days 40 mg 1X day | 5/31/2010 | 3 | stomach ulcer | Headaches started the second day followed by anxiety, leg pain and shortness of breath. I've been off it for 2 days and taking Zantac instead and I'm starting to feel better | Protonix did help my stomach pain and acid reflux, but I couldn't take the anxiety. Thinking about trying Prilosec. happy to find this website and realize it was side effects from the drug. | F | 37 | 3 days 40 mg 1X day | 5/17/2010 | 1 | GERD, acid reflux | rash on face, swollen tongue and throat, sores in mouth, dizziness. Numbness in hands and feet. | I NEED GERD meds and it took me awhile to realize it was the protonix. Ended up at the urgent care clinic cause I woke up with my throat closing and tongue swollen with sores and a rash. The doctor said it was the protonix and not to take it any longer. Did help my reflux but I am allergic to it. | F | 53 | 30 days 30mg 1X day | 5/12/2010 | 3 | GERD | Extreme Dizziness | Worked well for relieving the gastritis but had to stop because of the dizziness. | F | 48 | 7 days 2X day | 5/9/2010 | 2 | GERD | Foggy vision, fullness, burping, sleep troubles, dizziness | This helped my reflux but the side effects were intolerable. | F | 23 | 2 months 1X day | 4/22/2010 |
