I was having severe heart palpitations and a feeling of being woozy, similar to low blood sugar, then pain in lower left stomach!! Never had this with the brand name achipex!!
Wouldn't take this ever but insurance is making me try all generics before the brandname :-(
Having problems with acid reflux and breathing difficulty my doctor changed the frequency of dose from 10mg twice a day to 20mg at night only.First night I slept well for a change but woke with worse breathing difficulty. Still sweating when short of food.
I have asthma and can't get an answer to my breathing difficulties when taking ppi's
Terrible thought I was dying tight chest tingling feet tight chest deep headaches
Can't seem to take sodium.All PPI s seem have same problems
Choking sensation, tounge burning, feet tingling, and anxiety off the roof. I had an overall sick feeling
Diarrhea ,headache, joint pain, burping
First couple of days no reaction. Still taking ant acids when needed. Third long lasting burning esophagus. Worse than original acid reflux.
Severe stomach pain with back ache too. Also head felt giddy and heart beating strongly. These all occurred within 2-3 hours of taking just one tablet.
Joint pain, back pain, tiredness,vague,sore feet
Really helped my acid reflux, but did not like the side effects.
Sore and aching joints. Swollen hands and fingers. Buzzing feeling in feet.
This worked fairly quickly to lessen the burning in my stomach and throat, and it decreased the burping due to reflux. However, it caused daily headaches after the first week of taking it. On day #11, I had a massive headache all evening, even though I drank lots of water (as I'd never suffered from headaches previously).As a result, I had to stop taking this drug. Surgery may be the next step...
Skipped periods; constipation; insomnia; heart flutter; BURNING SKIN; rash; swollen feet & ankles.
I was on Omeprazole 10 MG x 2 for 5 days, when that didn't help the heartburn my doctor doubled it to 20 MG x 2 for 2 weeks. That caused my skin to burn so he switched me to Rabeprazole 20 MG x 2 which I was on for 3 weeks. During this time my skin burning was SEVERE. Extremely sensitive soles of feet, top of feet, toes, up my ankles; burning pain; sort of felt itchy and hyper-sensitive. Palms as well. On my own I started reducing the Rabeprazole. I went down to 10 MG x 1 in the morning and 20 MG x 1 in the evening for 11 days. After that I went down to 10 MG x 2 for 2 weeks. After that I went down to 10 MG x 1 for 3 1/2 weeks and then quit. My insomnia and heart flutter went away when I quit. My period has NOT returned (I am only 34 and haven't been on any contraceptive for years and have only ever once skipped a period which was due to a surgery). My BURNING SKIN is extremely bad, my feet and ankles are swollen, and I have a rash wherever it burns (feet and lower legs are worse but skin is sensitive everywhere). Rabeprazole helped my heartburn while I was on it but the side effects are not worth it. I still have heartburn, it has worsened, and I haven't been able to speak for weeks due to the pain in my throat, I am scared of getting Barrett's or cancer, but I am not willing to ever take another "prazole" drug. Note: I am also on valproic acid/divalproex sodium.
Chest pains, chest tightness, lump in throat, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, coughing, anxiety attacks and nervousness.
Side-effects did not start until 2 weeks after taking the medication. Symptoms began slowly and then significantly increased in severity as the days passed. Stopped taking the medication 2 days ago and side-effects diminished. Hopefully, they will be completely gone soon.
Tremendous indigestion. Had to stop taking it.
This didn't work as well (and had more side effects) than the brand name of Aciphex. The generic brand I took was made my Mylan. Stopping this resolved the problem.
RABEPRAZOLE SODIUM (RABEPRAZOLE SODIUM): Rabeprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux, ulcers). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. This medication helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Rabeprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Other than the narrow theraputic range fluctuations, no major issues.
My doctor thought that Lotrel would cause less fatigue than the atenolol I was taking previously, but this has not been the case. I had no side effects with atenolol and felt much better.
I was given a ten day prescrip. I STOPPED at Day 5. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! It is not worth the pain that results!
This is the only thing that has helped reduce the pain. I realize how well it works when it wears off or I take a dose later than ususal. It took about 3 weeks to really kick in, and about the same time for the off-balance feeling to wear off. I try to control the sedation with a little coffee during the day - since I normally would avoid caffeine this seems to give me a little boost in keeping me awake. The more aggravating problem is that I'm not as mentally sharp as usual. It feels like I'm in slow motion and can't keep up with my daily routine. I'm an elementary school teacher, and I find I'm not on top of what I need to do in class. That said, I will continue with neurontin, because the side effects are better than the pain. I also find I'm not as
headache and bad muscle aches.. is this common to anyone? i feel so weak and paranoid!!
