First and foremost ANXIETY! Followed with non stop nausea, my stomach felt like an empty pit. I had pains in my left arm, chest and basically my whole left side. The left side of my head felt like there was constant pressure. I do suffer from PTSD but I haven’t had an anxiety like this in years. It was debilitating, I had the worse anxiety attack of my whole entire life just a few days ago. Once I found this website it really set in to me that switching to Protonix is the direct reason this episode of anxiety happened. I can tie it all together now. You’re not alone if you feel this way while taking this medication. It’s also linked to strokes but the maker of the drug had no comment on that! | I will NOT be taking this medication again along with any other Proton Punp Inhibitors. I will suffer through the acid reflux and change my diet and use natural remedies. I honestly thought I was going crazy and was blaming everything but the fact that I had got switched to a new medicine. | M | 30 | 7 days 40 2X day | 11/21/2017 | 1 | Possible Gastritis | Headaches, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, depression, brain fog, weakness, loss of appetite. | I have been off of this drug for a week and am still feeling many of the mentioned side effects. I would be so grateful if anybody would write and share their experience, how long it took the symptoms to go away, etc. I am going for blood for tomorrow but my quality of life has been diminished and I was very much hoping that stopping this medication would have helped me feel better much quicker. Could it take this long to clear my system? I am at a loss. | F | 31 | 2 weeks 40 MG 1X day | 11/13/2017 | 1 | GERD | Anxiety, Chest pain, flushed face, bile taste in mouth, burning in stomach, back pain, muscle pain. | This stuff is terrible. My doctor is convinced that it's all in my head, but I didn't have any of these symptoms before starting this medication. | M | 33 | 45 days 40MG 1X day | 11/8/2017 | 1 | Gastritis | Severe abdominal pain and neuropathy sensation in hands and feet. Extreme tingling and cramping in hands. | Tried it on 2 separate occasions due to my Dr not believing that the side effects were caused by the medication. An absolutely terrible drug for me. | M | 34 | 7 days 40 | 10/27/2017 | 1 | over acid stomach | Extreme joint pain and body aches. Back pain. Swelling of face and hands. Exhaustion. Fatigue. Lethargy. Anemia. Dehydration. Hyperkalemia. | I felt so bad after taking Protonix for 3 years. I actually went to a Rheumatologist because of the joint pain and exhaustion. I thought I had some Auto Immune disease. After test results Dr. said no auto immune disease but that I was in kidney failure and had high liver enzymes. I got off Protonix and my kidney labs were almost normal in a month. I'm going back for recheck in a few months to make sure I'm recovering. Liver Enzymes are dropping more slowly but still doing better. I felt 90 years old and thought I wouldn't live very long before I got off Protonix. Now I feel so much better and like I've regained many years of my life. | F | 56 | 3 years 40 mg 1X day | 10/23/2017 | 1 | Severe gastritis | This medication made me hurt all over. Pain in right side. I quit taking it 3 days ago and pain is gone. But I still feel like I am going crazy. I was ok for two days but crazy feeling is back. Couldn't sleep a full night while on this. Would never recommend this to anyone | 70 | 21 days 40 mg | 10/10/2017 | 1 | Stomach ulcer | Severe anxiety, bad back and side pain, arm sore and itchy skin and scalp!! My ulcer symptoms never improved but got worse | I was precribed this medicine bc my doc think I have a stomach ulcer. Im on day 3 of this med and I feel worse!!!!! My back is aching, my skin is itching like crazy and my anxiety is making me unfocused. I've cried everyday this week, I'm going back to my doc and telling him I'm stopping this med. I'm going to ask him for a endoscopy to know 100% what's wrong with me before prescribing such a horrible medication!!!! I feel stupid for taking it not knowing what is 100 % wrong with me .... do not take this drug! I repeat!!!! Do not take it!!!! | F | 34 | 3 days 40mg | 9/11/2017 | 2 | reflux esophagitis | Weakness, fatigue, diarrhea | Went on this after nexium failed; like most gerd drugs it worked at first then the side effects kicked in to the point where they are worse than the condition you take them to treat. | M | 38 | 4 days 40 | 8/13/2017 |
