| 1 | Acid reflux | After reading most of these comments, i have relief in knowing now that my body is not falling apart! After taking Zantac 150, I developed pain in both my feet & ankles and pain and numbness in my upper right shoulder and hand. I also had severe dry eyes. I was always in great health and just out of nowhere I got all these symptoms. It wasnt untill after i looked up side effects of Zantac and came across this site that I realized that zantac was the cause!! My sister even developed the same type of pain in her right shoulder too along with dry eyes, blurred vision, and pain in chest after taking zantac 150 for 10 days. What's going on with Zantac!?! | F | 40 | 3 weeks 150 | 3/15/2016 | 3 | reflux at night | It worked well on the heartburn and reflux but on the 3rd day I got a really really bad headache.I took this years ago but I did not get this headache from it ,I would remember this .So yes it works but with the headache being so bad all day I can not take it . | F | 61 | 3 days 150 | 3/12/2016 | 1 | Sour stomach | Vomit and diarrhea etc | M | 56 | 1 days 150mg | 3/2/2016 | 1 | Acid reflux | After third day I started having panic attacks anxiety depression insomnia and nervousness now when I stopped after 10 days even my doctor told me to use for 6 weeks second day after stopping I feel better less nervousness and panicking but my kidneys started to hurt and my tasticals and found out have blood in urin so now I'm drinking a lot of tea to flush out and hope it will stop soon never again I wil take any pills for acid including Pepcid or nexium | After reading so many comments I feel happier and relaxed because I'm thinking that I'm going crazy | M | 31 | 10 days 150 | 2/27/2016 | 2 | Acid reflux and ulcer | Zantac worked fine in the beginning and has helped somewhat. My problem is that after taking it over a period of time I had diarrhea, nausea and extreme dizziness. I had to stop taking it as I could not go to work. For me the side effects outweighed the benefits. Doctors need to become aware of the side effects as I was continually told people are able to tolerate it | F | 62 | 3 months 300 mg | 2/25/2016 | 3 | Heartburn | Headache and dry mouth. Frequent urination. | Worked terrifically for the heartburn. I was losing my voice from my stomach acid, but ranitidine restored it. I might occasionally continue to use it. | M | 35 | 4 months 75 2X day | 2/23/2016 | 1 | Acid reflux | Difficulty breathing, slowly getting worse. Chest x Rays, bloods fine. Taken five months to realise a side effect from tablets. | F | 42 | 5 months 300mg | 2/2/2016 | 1 | Acid | Stomach pain got worse and chest and hard to breath | Didn't help my problum and still stuck taking it | F | 16 | 3 months | 1/18/2016 | 1 | Heartburn | Zantac has dryed my eyes out so bad that I have burning, pain and cloudy vision!!! | I will not take this anymore! I'd rather suffer with heartburn. | F | 59 | 10 days | 1/16/2016 | 1 | Heartburn | I took a single Zantac for the 1st time at the end of my work day to treat heartburn. Within 2-3 hours of consuming the tablet, I fell extremely ill - unbearable upper abdominal pain & cramping, extreme nausea, the worst case of diarrhea, and dizziness. Now, after over 7 hours, the abdominal pain has led to repeated vomitting. After reading the labelled side effects more closely, I have discarded of the entire bottle to spare myself any further torment as I am 100% certain that the Zantac was the cause of my extreme symptoms. What a nightmare - I would rather bear the heartburn...ten fold, than ever take this poison again. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. | F | 30 | 1 days 150 | 1/15/2016 | 1 | Gastritis | Worked first couple of days then started experiencing chest pains.extreme tightness in my chest and it became hard to breathe. | M | 65 | 7 days | 12/31/2015 | 3 | Gerd | Helped with reflux but gave the worst side effects. Dizziness, anxiety, heart racing, couldn't sleep mood changed. Going to see if I can take a lower dose. Now feeling a funny feeling in one leg. | Ask for something else. Hope everyone gets better | M | 35 | 2 months 150 | 12/29/2015 | 2 | GERD / Gastritis / H. pylori | Nausea got worse, dry mouth, headaches, emotional, insomnia, loss of appetite, excess mucus in throat | Only given it due to allergy to omeprazole. Doctor didn't know what was wrong with me so prescribed me this. Within half an hour my nausea worsened and a headache came on. After my second dose I became very emotional and nauseated. I have to continue for another month to see if my reflux stops, but the side effects are causing a lot of pain. | F | 16 | 1 days 150 X2D | 12/11/2015 | 1 | acid reflux | Vertigo, nausea, worse acid, muscle tiredness, headache, gas cramps | F | 54 | 9 days 30 1X day | 12/8/2015 | 2 | Severe stomach pain after eating | Worse stomach pain, constipation, fatigue, nausea, confusion, feeling weak, insomnia and missed period | I don't know whether they have messed up my menstrual cycle or what, but I had a fixed pattern and after taking them for 1 day- my period did not start when it was supposed to- I assumed it was just late by a day or two but a week and a half gone by and I'm convinced they've caused me to miss my period.. Don't know about anyone else? Think I might have to take this point to my doctor.. | F | 17 | 1 weeks 150 mg | 12/2/2015 | 1 | Prevent ulcers from other medicatio | Severe headache, rapid heart beat, tightness in throat, acid reflux, bloating, gas, loose stool, jitters, sweating, insomnia | I started taking zantac along with a high dose of steroids for 10 days. I had just had a spinal tap done the day before. I ended up with what I assumed to be a spinal headache from the procedure. After calling doctors and a trip to the ER explaining my headache, (which has lasted 10 days), I was told my symptoms were not those of a spinal headache. I couldn't move, I stayed on the couch for days. Worse than any migrane I have ever had in my life. After coming to this website tonight and reading reviews, I realize it most likely was the zantac. Yesterday I felt human again, probably because I forgot to take the zantac. I have also never once experienced acid reflux until I started taking this. I took zantac around 5pm today with my other pills. It is now 3am and I still cannot sleep. I am sweating, my stomach is in pain , and my headache is back. I absolutely will be throwing the remaining pills away today. | F | 25 | 10 days | 10/23/2015 | 1 | Indigestion | Severe headaches..muscle cramping in one leg..muscle tightness..sleeplessness | Please warn the public of these headaches. I've spent thousands of dollars trying to find the source and it was the medicine (Zantac ) all along. Stopped it and immediately the headaches ceased. | F | 39 | 8 months | 10/11/2015 | 1 | Upper stomach pressure | Shaking tremor like feelings aches and pains dizziness nausea agitated anxiety | Only took for three days. I suffer from anxiety and when I read the side effects I cannot believe I was even prescribed this medicine. At first I thought there was something wrong with my ssri not working, IT WAS THIS DRUG!! Will have to find a more natural way to deal with my stomach :( | F | 57 | 3 days 150 2X day | 10/7/2015 | 3 | acid reflux heartburn | headache all day, extra heartbeats, body aches, muscle cramps, insomnia, anxiety | I had no idea what's been wrong with me till I read everyone's comments here. All of my symptoms started a few days after starting the zantac. The anxiety is horrible. I don't know what I'm going to do now. I guess I'll at least lower the dose of zantac for now. It never completely helped with the heartburn. | F | 62 | 6 weeks 150mg 2X day | 9/19/2015 | 5 | from severe acid reflux at night | I started taking 2 times a day and immediately had trouble falling asleep and felt anxious. I would be fidgeting in bed a lot. I stopped the morning dose and started only taking at night since that's when I had worse symptoms with my stomach and immediately within 2 days of lowering the anxiety stopped. The Zantac was still effective. After a few months I started taking the second dose again and I did not get anxious I guess because my body was used to it. Zantac has changed my life. I couldn't sleep laying down at all I had to completely sit up to sleep or the heart burn was violent. And the only thing that would instantly stop the stomach acid from coming up was pepto bismal which took almost 2 years of suffering to find that out. Zantac is amazing. Just take a lower dose if u get anxious it will go away | F | 32 | 1 years 150 mg 2X | 9/13/2015 |
