| 3 | GERD | Itching...all over my body. From knee caps to ankles, elbows, head. Everywhere. Light abd pain. Nausea..after 30 min of taking then lasts for 1 hour | F | 26 | 3 days 60 1X day | 8/11/2014 | 5 | Gastritis | Just a little nausea and itching on my legs and feet. | This medicine has made a difference in how I feel each day. Its a big help! | F | 40 | 2 months 1X day | 8/9/2014 | 1 | Reflux esophagitis, Gastritis, Gast | I took this medication only once and had to stop. Three minutes after taking I started shaking and I mean shaking for 12 hours, and I had to call my doctor who told me to stop immediately. My pain went away after that for 18 hours, and came right back again. | M | 65 | 1 days 60MG 1X day | 7/20/2014 | 1 | Heartburn | Diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, headache, hiccups. Couldn't function after two days. Slowly recovering. | M | 33 | 2 days 60 mg | 7/19/2014 | 1 | GERD and EE | Helped GERD within 12 hours. But around 24 hours started noticing abdominal pain like prickly stickers in my gut that were rolling around but not going any where. Then had a BM and the gut pain seemed to be worse. Went ahead and took 2nd dose yesterday afternoon. I was miserably all last night with cramping & pain and was intensified on the left side and even felt like a knife cut through me when I walked. I didn't take another dose today and my abdomen still hurts & is even sensitive to touch, laid up in bed and now have a low grade fever with no appetite. (Nexium put nine pounds on me in SIX weeks. That's why I was given Dexilant samples.) Any way, done with it. Went to the health food store today for slippery elm and licorice and probiotics. I figure it can't be any worse than the side effects from the scripts. The abdominal pain is still so bad I'll be at the walk-in tomorrow if it hasn't let up. Good Luck to you guys! | F | 55 | 2 days 60mg a day | 7/11/2014 | 5 | Gerd | May sound crazy or extra crazy..but buy some organic vinegar. Take a tablespoon in the morning lunch and dinner. watch and feelur gerd go away. amazing. Got my daughter off dextalant! Just do it! Try it. Do it until ur free. only took my daughter a week. | F | 35 | 10 days 30mg | 7/1/2014 | 3 | GERD/excess stomach acid | None, so far. | I am 32 with severe GERD and excessive stomach acid, it's been this way since I was a child. I have been on basically every other anti-reflux medication that exists over the years. You name it, and I've been on it. Anyway up until about a month ago I had been on Protonix, but it just randomly quit working one day. I have been in severe discomfort since. My gastro tried me on Nexium first, and then I suggested Dexilant. I was a little skeptical since it's just a once a day medication...and I hate to say it but my skepticism was correct. It works so-so, but by the end of the day I find myself dealing with heartburn, and lying down to go to sleep most nights is pure torture. At this point I don't know what is left to try. I don't think there are any stronger PPI's on the market at the moment. I will continue the Dexilant because it is better than nothing at all, but this is definitely not an ideal situation. Thank God I see my gastro in 2 days. | F | 32 | 2 weeks 60mg 1X day | 6/24/2014 | 2 | GERD | I took dexilant after being on nexium for 4 months for GERD.at first it was great, solved my reflux and did not seem to have any side effects. After 6 months I began to have diarrhea , dizziness , ear pain and general feeling bad. I quit the dexilant and began to have nausea that was so bad I could not do anything . I had to take nexium again which is not good either . I 'm miserable and don't know how to quit these drugs . | F | 60 | 7 months 30 Mgs | 6/23/2014 | 1 | Gerd | moderate Gas, increasing dizziness and vertigo the past week and a half. | Dexilant solved the Gerd problem but the vertigo makes it unacceptable. Had been taking Nexium 60 mg for past 10 years, but was beginning to lose its effectiveness. | M | 70 | 33 days 60 mg 1X day | 6/17/2014 | 5 | Esophageal Reflux | No side effects whatsoever that I can tell. | I was changed from Prilosec to Dexilant because of being put on a blood thinner. Evidently Dexilant is time released. So far working great. | F | 73 | 6 months 60 MG 1X day | 5/22/2014 | 5 | Acid reflux hyatal hernia barresoph | Only med that has been able to let me lay down & sleep without acid coming up projectile ! | F | 58 | 3 years 60 | 5/21/2014 | 3 | Acid Reflux | Itchiness rash, palpitation | I was given this medicine by my G.I on my first consultation appointment. I was scheduled for Upper Endoscopy on May 15th. The first few days after taking Dexilant, there was no changes. I still had my occasional heartburn. On the 5th day after taking this medicine, I felt much better. I even started adding those 'acid food' such as tomatoes, lettuce and chocolate back into my diet after 1 week. I felt that my heartburn has disappeared. However I noticed for the past few days, I've been getting itchiness rash on my neck, ears, arms, scalp, shoulder, chest area and my back as well as occasional palpitation. I will call my G.I tomorrow and ask him if I can stop taking this medicine. | F | 41 | 2 weeks 60 MG 1X day | 4/20/2014 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Terrible itchy rash on my neck and on my arms, legs, and back.

I was on Prilosec for months and was suffering horribly from it!!!! | I have not been able to swallow solid foods for 3 years now, I'm really starting to loss hope that I will never eat again!!!!! I'm wondering has anyone had similar issues? I have had my esophagus stretched 25 times in a year, the first year they kept telling me im crazy...
