| 1 | GERD | Facial/neck/fingers/feet/leg numbness, fibromyalgia type joint and muscle pain, leg and arm weakness, sore/tingling tongue and lips, pressure sinus headache, sharp stabbing pains in head, extreme anxiety, diarrhea. | Side effects started about 10 days after taking this. I had no idea it was this drug that was causing me to feel this way. I honestly thought I had MS or something just as serious. I spent 4 days with high anxiety and panic attacks. This is the worst I have felt in my life! I have been off of this drug for 5 days and still experiencing all of the above side effects. | F | 32 | 14 days 40 MG 1X day | 11/18/2020 | 3 | Stomach Ulcers | This was a good prescription for me for a long while, I did however have some bad days with it but until recently it was revolutionary to me and my gastrointestinal discomfort from my stomach ulcers, however, the past few days that I've been on it have been really really off, ive had a lot of constant feelings of fatigue, I already had insomnia but even with taking 500mg of Valerian root I can't sleep with this medication, I also have had very little issues with anxiety before but I have felt way more anxious lately and even began to think I was having a panic attack, I also noticed that my brain has stayed in a state of a heavy fog almost all the time and I tend to develop random migranes, ive been on this medication for a long time but I'm beginning to think that its time I stop it. | Different people react differently to different medication.. but from what I'm reading and from my results compared to all the others, I think its safe to say that you'll likely be dissatisfied with this medication. | M | 19 | 6 months 20mg 1X day | 11/10/2020 | 1 | Gastric pain in abdomen | Anxiety, stomach pain, gas, | I am not going to take it anymore! Dont take it! Dont take it! Dont take it! | M | 32 | 3 days 40mg 1X day | 11/9/2020 | 5 | Gastritis | The only side affect I have is tiredness. This has taking away my gas issues that feel trapped inside my stomach. Now I can burp and get my gas out. I also used to have attacks and completely gone. I had a lot of acid in my stomach and this completely took it away. I had my issue for a year and I told the GI this is what I have and he said try protonix. | This worked for me!!! Saved my life from attacks. Only side effect tiredness. Now I can eat regular food. | F | 40 | 40 days 40 mg 1X day | 11/8/2020 | 1 | Acid reflux | Anxiety. Depression.weight loss .Muscle loss Brain fog . Can't concentrate. Muscle spasms .loss of appetite. Dizziness . Fatigue. | Been in the Er 3 different times thinking I'm dying...... | M | 47 | 6 months 40 mg 1X day | 11/2/2020 | 2 | Supposed GERD; long term NSAID | increased anxiety and panic episodes. Aches in my feet and hands, as well as really bad headaches. When bringing these side effects to both MD and pharmacist- they point blank told me " these are not common side effects."?! Im weaning off, and seeking consult with Integrative MD. Trust your body and inner wisdom.instincts. | F | 44 | 3 months 40mg 1X day | 10/31/2020 | 1 | Reflux | Depression ringing in ears pins and needles in hand and feet | Just looking at everyone's reviews omg I've had bad ringing in My ears for a year And nobody knows what caused it,,seen by GP and ENT Consultant ,, gave me steroid done nothing,, Been taking pantoprazole for 3yrs Never had these problems before it's been a nightmare I'm not taking anymore pantoprazole See what happens | F | 60 | 3 days 20mg 1X day | 10/30/2020 | 1 | Inflammation of stomach/intestines | An hour and half after taking the Protonix I experienced a "weird" loopy feeling in my head. I'm dizzy, upset stomach. I've had to lay down all day because my balance is off and I just plain feel weird. It's an awful feeling especially with what I'm going through. | I'm hoping this gets out of my system ASAP. | F | 65 | 1 days 40 mg 1X day | 10/28/2020 | 1 | GERD and possible hernia | Neck pain, shoulder pain, collarbone pain, weird tingly pain in jaw, cough, sore throat, migraines, body aches and pains, anxiety | This helped with my GERD symptoms but created a slew of other symptoms. I couldn't figure out why I suddenly had the worst neck pain. It went from my collarbones into my shoulders and up my neck into my jaw. It hurt really really bad and kept me up at night. My arms and legs started to cramp, I had a dry cough with a sore throat and my anxiety was 100x worse. Finally I put 2 and 2 together and realized it might be this. I googled it and came across a slew of people also suffering from similar symptoms. Stopping this immediately and asking my dr for an alternative. | F | 26 | 7 days 40 2X day | 10/27/2020 | 1 | gastritis | brain fog, confusion, forgetfulness, muscle spasms, joint pain, numbness of face, arms and legs, anxiety, insomnia, pins and needles, weight loss | i have anxiety already, mixed with this drug and the side effects i had, i was convinced i was having a stroke and dying. legs and arms would either be numb or in extreme pain or sometimes even both! face and neck would go numb and start twitching. i would much rather deal with the upset stomach than feel like im going to drop dead at any minute and i was not made aware of any of these side effects until i found this website. i will never touch this poison again. | F | 19 | 4 days 40 MG 1X day | 10/25/2020 | 1 | Gerd | Took my first dose of this hoping for some relief. Really helped with the acid and cough but who wants to feel like they have the flu. Woke up in the middle of the night sweated wet then froze all day long. I'll never touch it again. | F | 40 | 1 days 40mg 1X day | 10/25/2020 | 1 | Esophagus ulcer | Had a colonoscopy on Oct 2nd, since then I've felt sick to my stomach. I've always had anxiety and depression but now I have brain fog and memory loss. A lot of the symptoms I'm experiencing mirror those of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Fatigue, malaise, feeling like I'm not getting enough oxygen, headaches that feel like I'm getting stabbed in the eye, neck pain, nerve pain, just general pain everywhere (and I faint even take anything for the pain!) I usually help my mother with her cleaning business once a week but I have not been able to make it up and down too many stairs without feeling faint. I've also been having heart palpitations at night before bed and insomnia. I'll be contacting my doctor in the morning about getting off or switching medications because the negatives are obviously outweighing positives at this point. | M | 25 | 19 days 20 mg 2X day | 10/21/2020 | 1 | GERD and Barrett's esophagus | Constant gas, nausea,loud stomach noises all day long. Insomnia. Headaches | F | 59 | 1 years 40 mg 2x p 2X day | 10/17/2020 | 1 | GERD | Shoulder Muscle Pain, Muscle Twitching, Joint Pain, SEVERE ANXIETY, Stomach Gurgling, Diarrhea, Frequent Headache, Ear Pain, Malaise, Tiredness and General Feeling of being unwell. | Within the past 3 months, I made some serious/drastic lifestyle and dietary changes that sent my body into a state of Panic. These changes caused my preexisting acid reflux to become intolerable. It got so bad one night that I thought that I was having a Heart Attack and went to the ER. They prescribed me 40mg Famotidine (1 20mg Tablet twice daily). Moderately helpful initially but just didn't have a lasting effect. Had a second ordeal and scare where I thought I was having a Heart Attack. Back to the ER I went. They did Full CBC, EKG, CT Scan and Chest X-Ray. All came back clear and good. Changed Rx to Pantoprazole. Took the Medication for 1 Week and a Half. WORST DECISION EVER! Small side effects initially blinded me and made me feel confident I was good! Then came the Heart Palpitations, Headaches, Muscle Aches, Muscle Pains, Lack of Energy, Insomnia and unimaginable Anxiety. I dumped the pills and haven't taken another PPI since. Protonix should have a Class-Action suit or two because of the side effects and issues that come from taking them. I've been having side effects for 2 weeks since getting off of Protonix. DO NOT TAKE THIS MED. The side effects aren't worth it. | M | 36 | 2 weeks 40mg | 10/14/2020 | 1 | Extreme Gerd | Bizarre feelings in my brain. Anxiety. Jaw pain and neck. Headaches. So tired and cranky. | F | 58 | 0 weeks 40 1X day | 10/8/2020 | 1 | Acid reflux | Migraine awful nausea diarrhea ringing in ears and ear pain head and jaw pain joint aches body aches fatigued and exhausted depression and anxiety high and low blood pressure lost 10 pounds in a month and a half abdominal pain and insomnia itching all over | This is definitely poison. I have never felt so bad in my life. I wish I would have read the side effects and did my research before taking this medicine. | F | 40 | 30 days 40 2X day | 9/30/2020 | 1 | ACID REFLUX, GERD | SEVERE anxiety. Loss of appetite, stomach pain, headache, weakness, loss of energy. Insomnia | M | 32 | 13 days 40 MG 1X day | 9/30/2020 | 1 | Gastritis | Erectile dysfunction, sleepiness, depression, pain in joints, bloating | M | 70 | 3 months 40 1X day | 9/21/2020 | 2 | Symptoms of GERD or gastritis | Hey guys, I have been taking this and although I feel less Heartburn, less of that lump in throat feeling, it's not completely gone and I have symptoms of nausea and weird things. I wanted to see if anyone took anything else that helped better? I hear dexilant works good and lansoprazole. Any suggestions? By the way, I was vegan for a year. Ate really bad throughout covid, including hot Cheetos and I think that messed up my gut flora and lining. | F | 32 | 7 days 40 mg 1X day | 9/11/2020 | 4 | Hiatis hernia, GERD | Gastric issues disappeared and inflammation gone but having horrendous headache, back of head. Side of head and stiffness in neck | This has really worked for my gastric issues but headachaches stiff neck really painful and worrying. Not sure if I should stop taking them. | F | 68 | 0 days 30mg 1X day | 9/5/2020 |
