| 2 | GERD | Lightheadedness, insomnia, skin on face and left arm burning/tingling feeling, severe gas. | On Plavix, aspirin, toprol, and lipitor for heart. Been taking Aciphex for two months, stopped for three days and symptoms went away, took one pill this evening and symptoms have returned and can't sleep. | M | 44 | 2 months | 12/29/2004 | 4 | GERDs | headaches, insomnia | Works like a wonder on my stomach, I can eat spicey foods again. But it's giving me slight headaches that make me feel dizzy and hot. Also I only sleep after being awake for over a day now. | F | 22 | 1 months | 12/9/2004 | 5 | Acid Reflux | Works great | Better than anything else I've taken. | M | 38 | 2 years | 12/1/2004 | 3 | ulcer, gerd | burping and feeling of stomach in throat, increased appetite, excessive gassiness. | Seems to work quite well at relieving the heartburn, but the side effects were bothering me so much I tried going off the med for a few days, and by day 3 I was experiencing the most painful heartburn and severe acid reflux in my life, so I resumed the med.Will try to deal with the effects while looking into other options. | F | 28 | 6 weeks | 11/17/2004 | 5 | Acid Reflux | No side effects | I found I can only take Aciphex. Generic brands do not work. Insurance is more expensive, but worth it since I take it everyday. | F | 49 | 8 years | 10/25/2004 | 4 | Gerd, Barrets esophogas | None | Still have gerd, but doc wants me to continue with this to halt the barrets. | F | 47 | 1 years | 10/9/2004 | 2 | laryngopharyngeal reflux disease | Severe vertigo/nausea. | I had been on Prevacid, Nexium,& Protonix (2X/day)for 9 months:too many side effects - insomnia; severe abdominal cramps/constipation; no appetite;etc. I took Aciphex (20mg 2X/day) for 5 days. On the 6th day, I woke up with severe vertigo/nausea, which lasted for one week (I went back on Protonix for a short while, tapering off to nothing until I find out the ototoxicity of PPI's.) | F | 41 | 5 days | 8/19/2004 | 5 | GERD & Barrett's esophagus | No side effects | I was very ill with symptoms of my disease. I took Aciphex and within HOURS my pain went away and I have been fine since. I have an endoscopy every year for the Barrett's and it is healing nicely. | F | 64 | 3 years | 8/9/2004 | 5 | Acid Reflux | No side effects at all. | Cured my acid reflux almost within a few days which was causing something called Shotsky's Ring (when your throat spasms closed around food going down at the time and you choke). All gone!! | M | 1 years | 8/5/2004 | 4 | stomach problems | seems like it has caused weight gain, so I am going off the meds. However did help with my heartburn,acid problem | F | 36 | 3 months | 7/13/2004 | 5 | acid reflux | Non noted | Works well | M | 2.5 years | 6/19/2004 | 5 | severe gerd | None that I have noticed. | Works better than all the others for me. Expensive my co-pay is $50.00. There are $30 rebate forms available on the internet. Just put the word aciphex in your search | 45 | 2.5 years | 4/28/2004 | 4 | Acid Reflux/IBS | Some cramping and gas.....has helped my acid reflux and chest pains. | I have been on Prilosec, Propulsid, Zantac, Protonix, Prevacid, and now Aciphex for two and a half years. All of these medications had some kind of reaction. But Aciphex has seemed to be the only one to stop my intense heartburn and chest pains. I am reading that you shouldn't take it because it is causing major problems in people. Has anyone else had any major problems? Thanks. | F | 28 | 2.5 years | 6/14/2003 | 5 | acid reflux | None | This drug has elimated my acid reflux problem. No over the counter remedies were effective, and they made me feel sick. This has been a wonderful drug for me! | F | 43 | 2 years | 6/9/2003 | 4 | GERD, haital hernia | none so far | F | 28 | 1 months | 4/28/2003 | 5 | ulcers | none | Worked excellent but now that I'm off I can feel the ulcers have come back. | F | 21 | 2 months | 2/24/2003 | 5 | GERD | Very irregular, gassy. Not fun | But it works great for the problem. | M | 55 | 7 days | 2/6/2003 | 5 | GERD | Very irregular, gassy. Not fun | But it works great for the problem. | M | 55 | 7 days | 2/6/2003 | 5 | heartburn | non e | F | 47 | 3 months | 12/6/2002 | 5 | Acid Reflux | None; it was very effective.
