| 3 | Stomach pain | Severe abdominal cramps, headache, worsened IBS, fatigue, weakness, muscle aches | When I first started taking it, it worked wonderfully. Then, after about 5 months they up my dose and I started having really bad side effects. I had stomach cramps so badly they sent me to the ER. They took me off it for 2 months and recently put me back on it and the cramps are back again, along with a whole bunch of new side effects. Does anyone know if you can build up an allergy or resistance to it? | F | 20 | 6 months | 3/7/2006 | 5 | esophagal stricture and reflux | I must say it worked for 4 months during that time I lost 25 lbs. | I changed the size of meals at 3 per day and raised the headboard of my bed 7 inches [to keep stomach acid down at night]. Now take Prilosec occasionally when needed. It probably will turn out to be a lifestyle for me,feeling much better. | M | 73 | 4 months | 3/5/2006 | 5 | GERD | None | One 40mg per day works fine. Have had problems with other PPIs in the past. | M | 56 | 3 weeks | 2/24/2006 | 4 | stomach pain and gastritous | I am on other meds so I am really am not sure what side effects went with what. | This was finally the relief I have been looking for. | M | 41 | 6 months | 2/23/2006 | 4 | severe GERD, duodenal ulcer | a little shortness of breath not related to excercise, more nausea and non-acidic regurgitation | it stopped the heartburn although i doubt any of these ppi's heal the problem once they're discontinued for people with serious GERD. i was alergic to aciphex and prevacid but i havent had any problems with this one and liked it much better then aciphex, prilosec and all of the 4 histamine blockers. i thought prevacid was a little better but like i said i was allergic so i need protonix. | M | 21 | 4 weeks | 1/28/2006 | 5 | esophogitis & ulcer | WEIGHT GAIN--a # a week!! OR, could it be PRAVACHOL??? | Used PROTONIX only short term for ulcer healing. | F | 65 | 8 weeks | 1/21/2006 | 5 | Ulcers and Acid Reflux | None | I take one 40mg tablet a day and this drug has worked wonders for me and for several of my friends who have had Geardia (Jee-ard-e-a) and Acid Reflux. | M | 29 | 4 years | 12/22/2005 | 2 | GERD | The first two days, some abdominal pain and headache. Days 2, 3 and 4 I experienced a strong flushing reaction - I felt like I was being heated up from the inside of my chest outward, about 1.5 hours after taking the pill. The feeling lasted about 3 hours and was scary and uncomfortable. I really disliked the flushing, so I discontinued taking the drug. | It did help my chest pain from GERD within two days. I wish I could have stayed on it. | F | 36 | 4 days | 12/15/2005 | 3 | ulcer/gerd | Tingling in my left arm and chest pains | I feel like these medicines end up making you worse in the end. I started of with mild heartburn once in awhile. Now when I try to get off the medicine . I am doubled over in pain. I feel I am a lifer on the meds. Protonix gave me the least of the side effects. But the arm tingling is really getting annoying. Any suggestions> [email protected] | F | 27 | 1 years | 12/14/2005 | 3 | gastritis | Confusion. I have problems with depression and the day I started taking Protonix I had worsening of my depression symptoms (crying, emotionally upset). Fluid retention. Seemed to want to eat more than usual. | i have read a lot online about patients gaining weight when they take acid blockers. am going to look for healthy alternatives to these meds, plus my dr. is checking me for H.pylori bacteria. | F | 49 | 1 days | 9/21/2005 | 5 | GERD | None at all. | I experienced relief the very first day. It was amazing to sleep through the night after years of waking up with acid reflux. I did build an immunity to it after a few years and switched to Aciphex which has also given me marvelous results. I have tried going without either of these and after 3 days, GERD hits me again. So I'll just go on pleasurably sleeping while switching back and forth between Protonix and Aciphex. | M | 41 | 5 years | 8/20/2005 | 1 | Gastritis | Made me feel drunk. Excessively thirsty. Abdominal pain. | F | 41 | 1 days | 8/12/2005 | 1 | ibs | high blood pressure, increased vein swelling, intestinal rigidity | F | 50 | 2 years | 7/10/2005 | 3 | GERD | If you have your bedd up on blocks- that may cause blood to pool in your legs- hence the leg pain, that some are complaining of. | recently switched to prevacid- seems like my appetite has increased | F | 48 | 6 months | 7/6/2005 | 1 | GERD | severe diarrhea and pancreatitis | According to worstpills.org, Protonix should not be taken until January, 2007. | F | 58 | 8 months | 6/7/2005 | 2 | acid reflux | F | 51 | 3 months | 5/19/2005 | 1 | GERD | Severe Headaches upon sitting or standing. Started within 12 hours to taking protonix, ended within 36 hours of discontinuing. I was admitted to the hospital for the headaches after many doctors told me that the effects could not be caused by the Protonix. So I continued to take it for 3.5 weeks. In the end, the neurologists thanked me for running an impromtu experiment for on the effects of this drug. | M | 41 | 3.5 weeks | 3/29/2005 | 5 | GERD | TREMORS, NERVOUSNESS IMSOMNIA | M | 52 | 6 weeks | 3/24/2005 | 4 | Painful acid reflux | None noticed | Really helped with painful acid reflux. Started working on day one. I am considering switching to Prilosec due to the high co-pay. Have been told by my pharmacist it works just as well. | F | 31 | 3 months | 3/24/2005 | 5 | Heartburn | None | Zero Heartburn on this drug. | M | 48 | 60 days | 3/23/2005 |
