| 2 | medically induced esophogitus | I have an ear infection. Day 13 of taking it. Still have huge amount of pain from indigestion/esophogitus, plus have diarhea on and off. | F | 33 | 13 days | 4/24/2005 | 2 | acid reflux, esophageal sphincter | Severe cramps and stomach pain. Also persistent nausea, especially in the mornings and evenings. | I take two 30 mg doses a day and it controls the reflux, but seems to wear off after seven hours. The stomach pain it has caused is worse than the reflux itself. | F | 16 | 2 months | 4/8/2005 | 3 | GERD, Erosive esophagus | At first none. It helped wonderfully to control the gerd and to heal my esophagus. However, after being on it for several years, I have developed severe anemia (8.0 hemoglobin!), have loose bowels every morning, have tingling and numbness in my hands and feet, and insomnia with crazy dreams when I do sleep. | I thought all these symptoms were from other sources until I looked up PDR online for side effects. I am stopping my Prevacid use immediately. | F | 50 | 6 years | 4/2/2005 | 1 | Nausea, stomach pain, gastritis | Extreme periodic fatigue, mental & physical. | Turning off the stomach's acid production can cause malabsorption of minerals. In my case, a magnesium/calcium/zinc supplement resolved the fatigue i was experiencing within hours. Otherwise, the prevacid did nothing for my original symptoms. | F | 35 | 6 months | 3/30/2005 | 3 | | 3/24/2005 | 3 | GERD | dry mouth, dry nose and dry eyes | F | 26 | 6 days | 2/28/2005 | 2 | Silent Refulx Disease | Crazy, crazy dreams, and my aretynoids are still read and swollen after all this time. | F | 34 | 14 months | 2/16/2005 | 3 | severe heartburn | severe bloating, diarrhea | It really helps with my heartburn, that was waking me up at night and making life really miserable and expensive with all of the tums that I was buying. However, I'm sitting on the fence with the decision if the constant bloating and diarrhea is worth it or not. | F | 27 | 14 days | 2/13/2005 | 2 | GERD, Erosive Esophagus | nausia, heartburn | diagnosed with GERD when and Erosive Esophagus but I never felt like I had heartburn. I feel great in the morning, but in the afternoon and at night, I actually started to feel like I had heartburn. | M | 25 | 5 days | 2/2/2005 | 2 | GERD due to hiatal hernia | Severe diarrhea and lower abdominal cramping, increase in hernia flare-ups, which had become less frequent WITHOUT any medication (diet-controlled). | I was given samples by a new doctor as I was concerned about a pain medication he prescribed. I'm no longer taking either medication and am not planning to see this doctor again. | F | 33 | 30 days | 1/4/2005 | 4 | GERD/ulcers | dry mouth | I encourage anyone with acid reflux or stomach pain to get tested for H. Pylori, a bacteria that can lead to stomach ulcers. I didn't know that I had it and it is easily treatable with antibiotics. | F | 24 | 2 months | 1/2/2005 | 2 | gerd/acid reflux | I'm not sure if the prevacid is causing this or not but I feel very shaky and my heart seems to be beating very fast, again like I said not sure if its from the meds or not. I didnt really feel that I had gerd but my doctor felt that I did and has put me on it for 2 months. | F | 34 | 12 days | 12/26/2004 | 4 | | 12/20/2004 | 3 | Gerd | None in the beginning, but 2 weeks later, I started to get terrible stomach pain. Can't sleep at night and very moody. | F | 29 | 4 weeks | 11/1/2004 | 3 | GERD | After about a year of taking Prevacid, I started to get pains in my lower legs. It felt like either pain in my bones or deep muscle pains. I didn't connect the pain to Prevacid at first but when I cut the dose to 1 pill every other day the pain went away for a while. Eventually I had to stop taking Prevacid altogether because the leg pain was worse than the heartburn. All of the other PPIs I tried after this gave me unwanted side effects so I eventually had a lap Nissen for the heartburn. I rated the medicine as a | F | 38 | 1 years | 10/19/2004 | 3 | gastric reflux | constipation,gas, dry eyes | F | 2 years | 10/8/2004 | 3 | gastric reflux /esophagitis/ | constipation,gas, dry eyes, dry skin, itching,mood changes, more dreams | Prevacid was great in the beginning to ease the symptoms. I could eat anything without getting bloated and having abdominal discomfort. After several months, would get abdominal pain after taking it. My doctor said take it at bedtime and that did help. I take it whenever I need it now.Before taking prevacid, the zantac wasn't working and I was aspirating the gastric acid into my chest during the night causing wheezing and coughing. | F | 65 | 2 years | 10/8/2004 | 3 | Acid Reflux | Mild pains in upper chest; insomnia | M | 52 | 3 days | 10/5/2004 | 1 | to re-line stomach | stomach pains, diarrhea | F | 70 | 1 days | 8/25/2004 | 4 | acid reflux | It really helps the pain from acid reflux but since I have been taking this pill, which has been about 3-4 months, I am experiencing bloating, cramps and loose bowels. I had been diagnosed quite a while ago with IBS which this prevacid seems to be irritating the bowel. | I would like to know if this is a common complaint while taking this drug. | F | 60 | 4 months | 8/15/2004 |
