| 5 | acid reflux | A sudden gain of 4-5 pounds in a couple weeks (without eating more). Loss of usual high energy and drive. Almost daily brief stabbing headaches. | It's wonderful to get rid of the acid reflux but I'm anxious to see if I can resolve the reflux and get off meds altogether. For me, this was a sudden onset last month so I'm getting a work-up. | F | 41 | 3 weeks | 4/10/2006 | 1 | acid reflux | increased appetite - can't control it, constipation | it is not worth it, I better go for a better diet and take some herbal supplements, but I do not want to be like a fat pig. Since I hav been taking it, my mouth doesn't close, I keep eating. I read some people get depressed after taking this drug. No way I will take it while I am having history of depression!!! | F | 20 | 2 days | 4/1/2006 | 4 | Acid Reflux | Weight gain (75lbs) Low blood platelets, which resulted in severe nosebleeds. High blood pressure. Numbness in right side of my leg (syatica) probably caused by the weight gain. | My doctor has diagnosed me prediabetic. Could Prilosec be contributing to this? Will Actos interact? My doctor doesn't think so. I'm not so sure. Is there any research on this? Any info is appreciated. Please email. Over all I am thankful for the drug,,, so far.. | M | 48 | 3 years | 3/24/2006 | 1 | dispepsia | diziness,ear ringing, blurry vision, headaches | i was healthy before and now my life is a mess. i have stopped losec for a month and all the sideeffects persist | M | 31 | 14 days | 3/22/2006 | 1 | extreme anxiety | Horrible runs of extreme anxiety, a feeling like there is a ton of adrenalin pumping through my body. Anxiety went away after stopping prilosec. Took awhile to figure out that it was the drug and not me. Didn't cause anxiety until I'd been taking it for more than 6 months. Coincidentally, the side effect of anxiety started a few weeks after the relief of gerd no longer occurred. | Do whatever you have to do to get rid of gerd:lose weight, don't wear tight clothes. Just DON'T take prilosec | F | 44 | 6 months | 3/20/2006 | 1 | GERD | I too have experienced muscular pain, muscle cramping, occasional dizziness and anxiety. Horrible... | This is the only drug I take and have struggled with the general malaise that I have been feeling. Decided to try to go without it and I am feeling much better. I never had feelings of anxiety in my life and I don't ever want them again. Had my gall bladder removed 2 years ago. I wonder if the drug caused my gall bladder problems as well. | M | 53 | 3 years | 3/14/2006 | 5 | coughing/suspected gerd | Other than a sligh headache at times, I have no side effects...actually, I have RELIEF! | After being treated for seasonal bronchitis for 5 years and tons of medications and test...(have a new doctor now)...A $10.00 box of Prilosec got rid of my cough after taking 4 daily doses. I now take one pill a day....and feel wonderful! | F | 54 | 30 days | 3/11/2006 | 3 | acid burnes | bein sick every time i drink or eat | illness started aweek after i started tking them i lost alot of weight hospital convinced me it wasnt the tablets but it iz | F | 13 | 4 months | 3/11/2006 | 1 | silent acid reflux | After 4 days, bizarre disturbing dreams, trouble sleeping and staying asleep, depression. At 6 days, sudden crying jags at work, anxiety. Stopped taking. | Dose OTC 1 tablet morning, 1 evening per doctor's orders. | F | 50 | 6 days | 3/7/2006 | 5 | reflux | Appearent increased sensitivity to heat/humidity, and hot drinks | Works much better than antacids, very happy with results | M | 49 | 2 weeks | 2/17/2006 | 2 | abdominal pain | gas, headaches, loose stool throughout day-unpredictable! | F | 33 | 14 days | 2/11/2006 | 1 | ACID | ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE | DEADLY | F | 38 | 6 years | 2/11/2006 | 1 | INDIGESTION | THIS DRUG KILLED MY FRIEND.

Should I go off for any duration of time my symptoms of GERD and the hiatal hernia type pain come back. I have not had any longterm side effects whatsoever and I have been on it well over one year. I would love to hear from people at my email address who have GERD and hiatal hernia like I do. Thanks. | F | 43 | 1 years | 1/27/2006 | 3 | acid reflux | abominal pain, loss of appetite, hair loss | it did cure my acid reflux problem | F | 30 | 4 months | 1/21/2006 | 2 | indigestion daily after every meal | Severe diarrhea and stomach cramps. I went to the doctor because I thought I had the stomach flu or a parasite. Stool sample showed nothing. Only took 3 days of Prilosec and it took another 5 days before I felt OK when it got out of my system. I am also lactose intolerant so maybe that had an effect. | The Prilosec worked great & eliminated any heartburn - I was loving being able to eat & not suffer after each meal, but the side effect of severe diarrhea and severe stomach pains made it impossible to continue to use this product. | F | 51 | 3 days | 1/4/2006 | 4 | acid reflux | Possible weight gain over last yr close to 20-30 lbs! But not sure if its from Prilosec or just getting older and lazier! | Best OTC on the market. Had heartburn all the time b4 prilosec. COuldnt sleep or enjoy evnings out. Prilosec helped me! | M | 30 | 9 months | 1/2/2006 | 3 | extreme heartburn | Bloated, stomach cramping, 4 or 5 bowel movements per day. And I gained abuot 12 to 15 lbs. | M | 55 | 8 weeks | 12/30/2005 |
