| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ACIPHEX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | GERD | None at all. | When I built up a tolerance to the wonderful Protonix, I was afraid I'd have to deal with GERD for the rest of my life. Then the doctor put me over to Aciphex, and it was wonderful. Now as I build a tolerance to Aciphex, I'll switch back to Protonix again. Since it takes me about 3 years to build a tolerance, I figure I should be good for the rest of my life switching between the two. | M | 41 | 2 years | 8/20/2005 | 2 | reflux | Stomach cramping both night and day,and enough to wake me up at night. Burning at the base of my throat. | This is only my 4th day on Aciphex, so I don't know if these side effects will persist. If so, I'll switch to something else. | F | 43 | 4 days | 8/16/2005 | 2 | GERD | abdominal cramps, nausea, blood pressure rose, depression & paranoia (never had either before), hotflashes | Helped the GERD (fairly well) but side effects were worse. I think this medicine works well for some, not for others, I'm one of the | F | 28 | 6 days | 7/20/2005 | 1 | Acid Reflux | After I took the first pill, I had problems breathing and ended up in the emergency room. My mouth felt like it had a large cotton ball inside. For 3 days following had to wear sunglasses because everything appeared very bright. I didn't take it again after that. | F | 41 | 1 days | 7/19/2005 | 3 | Duodenal Ulcers / GERD | Dizziness (Vertigo), irritability, confusion, slight headache | I was taking Nexium before Aciphex, but had to stop due to high cost (insurance would not cover). After about two weeks on Aciphex, noticed side effects listed. Reflux came back more often when taking Aciphex than when I was on Nexium. Physican is taking me off Aciphex. I will now try Protonix. | F | 30 | 14 days | 6/6/2005 | 3 | Acid-Reflux, Heartburn | Dizzy, lightheaded, and disoriented. Pressure in chest, pounding in throat. Felt like I was having a panic attack, yet symptoms came on randomly and at times when I was very relaxed. | The medication helped symptoms that Zantac did not - I'd been having gurgling in upper chest and lots of chest pressure and excessive stomach gas and burping. AciPhex solved those problems, but the new problems it brought were more uncomfortable and disturbing. I was beginning to fear I'd faint while driving or that I was having a heart attack. Went off the stuff for a week and symptoms disappeared. An hour and a half after I took it again, symptoms returned. Going off it for good. | F | 38 | 45 days | 6/2/2005 | 3 | GERD and Barrett's | Intense burping and gurgling in my stomach | I take 20mg twice a day as my GERD has gotten a lot worse in the last 6 months. Does anyone have any suggetsions re the side effects I am experiencing? | M | 44 | 6 months | 5/28/2005 | 5 | Extreme heartburn | None | Heartburn used to keep me up all night. I slept in a chair many nights to try to avoid the heartburn. Aciphex is the only medication that stops the heartburn and I've tried many. I can't live without it. | F | 49 | 3 years | 5/18/2005 | 5 | acid reflex | none | Better than anything else I've tried. I had to go off of it because of our insurance. I was put on Protonix, but it doesn't hold a candle to Aciphex. | F | 44 | 1 days | 5/14/2005 | 5 | GERD | Slight Head ache during the first couple of days, until it gets in my system then it's smooth sailing. | This is my miracle drug I have been taking medications for my GERD for 12 years and nothing has helped like this!!! I know that it is extremely expensive (THANK GOD FOR SAMPLES!!!) but with me it is well worth it. I used to feel like I was in the exercist when I would come flying out of the bed with acid shooting out of my mouth and nose and I had no control over it. But now that is all in the past!!! AMEN! | F | 27 | 1.5 years | 5/5/2005 | 5 | Reflux | None | For years I have been prescribed everything you can imagine,this is the only thing that has worked. This drug is a miracle. AIts been 2 years. I couldnt eat anything without getting sick until this drug entered my system. I love it!!! | M | 40 | 2 years | 4/27/2005 | 1 | ulcer | Dizzy, lightheaded, intense itch of head, hands, all sweat lines(waist), thight throat,wired feeling. | F | 51 | 11 days | 4/20/2005 | 1 | severe belly pain | Went to emergency room when itching in scalp, underarms, waist and leg band area had large raised angry red lumps. Itch was severe.Tightness in throat.Felt wired.Not able to sleep or even sit still. | F | 62 | 10 days | 4/18/2005 | 3 | discomfort, burping, dry heaving | light hangover feeling, salivating exsessivley, | this is my second time on it, and the first time I felt any side effects | F | 22 | 14 days | 4/14/2005 | 5 | GERD, epigastic hernia | none | I was prescribed it twice a day for a while and never had any side affects. Without it, there is no rest at night. | F | 37 | 2 years | 4/2/2005 | 2 | GERD | Intense itching all over my body for 4 days now, rash, dizziness, headache. | Seemed to work for my acid reflux but the allergic reaction was too much to deal with. Went off medicine when I realized I was allergic to it. | F | 36 | 7 days | 3/29/2005 | 4 | acid reflux | F | 49 | 11 months | 2/23/2005 | 1 | Prescribed by my physician | Moderate to Severe heartburn after taking this medicine for three days..Some nausea,slight headache. | M | 51 | 5 days | 1/27/2005 | 5 | GERD | Maybe a bit more gas than before, but the improvement in my life was substantial. No GERD during the day or night. No heartburn. Ever. I eat pizza again. A miracle. | M | 51 | 1 years | 1/25/2005 | 4 | GERD | Minor/occaisional side effects (stomach cramping, mostly)... but one strange thing: I work out a lot... since taking Aciphex, I haven't been sore from my workouts - no matter the intensity, no soreness. Weird. | I've been on Prilosec, Nexium, Prevacid, and Protonix on and off for the past 4 years. So far, so good with Aciphex. | F | 36 | 2 months | 1/20/2005 |
