| 3 | GERD | Anxiety, mood swings, fatigue, insomnia, nightmares, dry eyes, asthma | Prevacid fixed my reflux completely, but the side effects are too much to deal with. | F | 46 | 3 months 15mg 1X day | 5/5/2016 | 1 | gerds....hiatal hernia | It has been a nightmare!!!! I thought I was dying. I acually had to have a Pacemaker put in the afib was so bad. Constant nausea. .fatique....sleepy... severe depression. I don't really know why my Dr put me back on it after I had my hiatal hernia surgery. He said just to be on the SAFE side. This stuff has ruined my life. I have no life. I have been detoxing off of this poison. I pray I start feeling normal again. Never been so depressed and terrible panic attacks. Night mares are terrible when I can sleep. PLEASE COME OFF OF THIS IF YOU ARE ON IT. IT ONLY HAVE ME AN OPTION OF UP TO 10 YEARS BUT I HAVE BEEN ON THIS STUFF FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS. WILL NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN. I HOPE I CAN GET MY LIFE BACK SOON!! | 61 | 10 days 30mg | 2/26/2016 | 3 | LERD | Diarrhea, gas, stomach pain, increased urinary after dribble, some pain after urination. | Guidelines about eating before and after taking the drug are very strict. Even when taken correctly, the diarrhea is awful, enough to seek an alternative therapy and to take the drug less than prescribed. Sudden increase in urinary after dribble was quite surprising. However, Prevacid did help with acid damage to larynx and throat, most discomfort eased within 1 week, but it is a considerable tradeoff. Currently taking 15mg every 48-72 hours instead of every 12 via doctor's orders. | M | 42 | 60 days 15 2X day | 12/14/2015 | 1 | Heartburn, acid reflux | Bloating, nausea, insomnia, lower abdominal discomfort, irregular bowel movements. | Worked great for about 10 days until each of the listed side effects started creeping up until day 14. Thought I had a stomach bug. Took it for two more days and stopped. It's been 1 day and I feel better already. I'm back on the Pepcid AC for now. | M | 56 | 16 days 15mg 1X day | 12/3/2015 | 1 | For indigestion | I can't begin to tell you the withdrawal and when I was on it horrible joint pain mucle jerks dizziness I took this because I was on quetiphine and developed acid | I'm really upset about this drug and what it has done to me physically never again I was in this for14 months | F | 1 days http://m.w | 11/18/2015 | 3 | Acid reflux | Been on it for years, for Barretts Esp, started having Partial complex seizures, told it from low magnesium, caused by prolong use of prevacid. long term use causes fatique, depression, forgetfulness, mood swings and mental fogs. Going back to Zantac, hopefully will get back to normal. Going to go back to Zantac. | M | 59 | 10 years 30mg 2X day | 9/22/2015 | 5 | GERD | None, awesome drug. Two routine endoscopes since I started 10 years ago and all normal. What else could you ask from a drug. | I can't imagine life without this drug. Heartburn and GERD are not a joke, they can be debilitating. | M | 68 | 10 years 15 1X day | 9/16/2015 | 1 | gastritis,esophagitis,hiatal hernia | indigestion, fullness in stomach, decreased appetite, heart palpitations, dry mouth, nasal congestion, mouth sores, fatigue, drowsiness, weird, spacey feeling, nausea, sweats and chills, body tremors, nightmares, achy legs, burning in stomach, haedache, gas pains, joint pain, diarrhea, ears ringing, jittery, nervousness, weight loss, back pain, side pain, cough | Would not take this again for nothing. Should be taken off the market. | F | 46 | 7 weeks 15 mg 2X day | 9/8/2015 | 1 | stomach issues and acid reflux | Severe dysphagia pseudodisphagia for 3 years Eating issues to the point it was difficult to drink water inability to swallow food ( i was 8-9 taking this and it traumatized me to the point i was 60 pounds at 13 years old from the side effects) | Contact me if you have questions about my story with it or if you'd like to hear more about this horror story | F | 9 | 10 months n/a 2X day | 8/24/2015 | 1 | acute gastritis | Took one 30mg within 30mn my stomach started to shake and my heart started to fell like it was going to come out of my chest my stomach on fire back neck and throat hurt lips felt numb intestine on fire left side my body tingling and numb pain in my breast and the stomach pain I couldn't even being to explain can't sleep hard to eat and my fourth day filling somewhat better not great heart still racing | I can't even imagine giving this stuff to a baby or a child! | F | 51 | 1 days 30 milligr | 7/25/2015 | 1 | gastritis | Severe anxiety, brain fog, nausea, sleepiness, facial and teeth pain, neck pain, palpitations. Dry eyes, mouth, lips peeling. | I tried Prevacid last year and had the same horrible side effects. I thought that maybe it might have been from something else, so I tried it again. Nope,it is the prevacid. It is the only drug I have been taking. Not taking any more of this drug. My body is telling me NO. | F | 2 days 15 mg 1X day | 7/19/2015 | 2 | GERD with H pylori | 3 years ago I was put on Prevacid after a nasty bout of H pylori which left my stomach looking like a wild animal had clawed my insides. The prevacid did help my acid reflux and allowed my ulcers to heal. But after one year on it I began feeling weak and tired all the time. By year 2 my muscles hurt constantly. By year 3 I was having muscle spasms in my arms and legs also tingling in both. I was constantly constipated and bloated. I have been off prevacid for 5 days. So far my muscle pain is 60% better. I am controling my acid with zantac and the occasional dose of mylanta. I hope I never have to use a PPI to control acid production. | F | 36 | 3 years 15mg | 6/19/2015 | 3 | ulcers in the asophagus | I have had nerve pains in my breast and awful bloating, I've tried pantaloc and it was so bad I was hospitalized and they put me back on it and the generic zantac I didn't take it obviously instead I had a prescription for prevacid and started taking it with the side effects mentioned but my esophagus is mending 1 per day any more and I get a lot of pain and bloating like the pantaloc etc. I'm seeing my doctor in February and am going to ask him how long it will take for me to heal. Thanks for giving me a chance at this forum. | F | 2 weeks | 1/20/2015 | 2 | GERD | My daughter is two and son is one. Over the course of the last year, I've been trying to figure out how to discern between medical problem requiring the drug, or fearful response to kids acting so sick as infants and never able to get off since... My daughter and son have been showing mirrored symptoms and recently, I assumed there was a co leak because my daughter was so confused, disoriented, cold and unable to understand what was going on. She also had a loss of red blood cells and nights she couldn't do anything but scream, "I'm scared!" Both she and my son had fevers off and on and terrible sore throats and nuerological issues. I felt very scared when I read these comments on this website. I hope j haven't done anything permanent to them :( this drug should be illegal | Constipation, anxiety, confusion, stomach bloating and extreme discomfort, bowel changes, urine Incontinence and Enflamed genitals. | F | 2 | 2 years 30 | 1/15/2015 | 3 | Severe reflux, hiatal hernia | My stomach is addicted to it. It does not work 100% but helps a lot. I am not absorbing my nutrients because of long term use and have serious health problems from this. | I was able to stop taking it for 2 months with the help of a Naturopathic Physician (a Functional Medicine Doctor would be better) but my reflux and indigestion became so bad again that I had to start taking it again. I went grain free, sugar free, dairy free which has made a big difference in my gut. | F | 66 | 20 years 30 mg 1X day | 10/29/2014 | 3 | Stomach ulcer | F | 66 | 1 days 10mg | 9/13/2014 | 5 | gerd, loose lower esoph sphincter | I've been taking Prevacid for 19 years, (no option over 10 years given) since 1995 with no side effects. Had extreme malaise of u/o while taking Prilosec for 2 years and it disappeared when I came off of it for some tests. After tests and endoscopy, I was put on Prevacid and have been extremely pleased, taking one when I wake up in morning and rarely having to take a second in the late afternoon. No problems! | F | 65 | 10 years 30mg | 9/1/2014 | 1 | esophageal spasms | F | 52 | 30mg 1X day | 8/19/2014 Patient History | 3 | Gastritis without h pylori | Worked well in the beginning and eliminated my stomach pains due to acid. However 1 month after taking I started to experience fullness in my stomach, decreased appetite, a lot of gas, food staying in my stomach longer than normal, constipation. I ended up not able to eat at all because of the constant feeling of fullness! I stopped Prevacid cold turkey and in 2 days these symptoms disappeared. I am now taking Pepcid instead. Don't plan to go back to Prevacid, terrible side effects. | F | 39 | 4 months 30mg 1X day | 8/13/2014 | 2 | Gerd due to hiatel hernina | Here are some facts Big pharma are hiding from you. Drug is addictive ,so you will get rebound when you stop. Places you at higher risk for heart disease due to vitamin depletion from long term use and stomach and esophageal cancers due to H Pylori and ulcers. Check for Candida, h pylori, remove heavy metals from teeth and body, and remove refined sugar and carbs from diet. Choose organic foods for better health. Finally, get stomach acid levels as symptoms may be because of low stomach acid levels | M | 1.5 years 30 mg 1X day | 5/14/2014 |
