Side Effects for Ranitidine (ranitidine hydrochloride)
None? Possibly constipation rarely. Possibly night sweats
I tried everything. Prescriptions, doctors, nothing and no one could help me. My life revolved around the discomfort. I was ready to go on a liquid diet for good.Then I found this. It has been life changing and continues to work years later.
Axienty, heart pain, chest wierd feeling. Every time take the drug feeling like heart want to stop beating. Strange feeling in head, hard to focus while driving, talking and in crowded. Just take magnesium trisilicate to help the pain.
Stop taking this drug. Some doctors they never ever feel this pain of side effect. So they talk shit when we complaining.
stopped heartburn, but had headaches and muscle pains, dizzyness and nausia
nausea a little bit at first, later none
I took it for a month. It didn't work. After I quitted my job, I took it again, my heartburn was getting better, from 4-5 times heartburn a day to 2-3 times a day. But I took antibiotic for some reason and I got allergy. So, I stopped the ranitidine again. Now I use Blendtac to blend a whole piece of ginger with water. Keep it in the fridge. Pour some, add water and boil it (it's hot n spicy). Drink it in the morning and night before bed. I don't have heartburn the whole day.
I was OK using 75mgs of this drug once a day but have had to increase it over the past 6 weeks to 150mg per day as GERD worse. Now night sweats, chills MUCH worse and horrid `lump in throat sensation' all of the time - also drug has ceased to wrok well and casues severe burning after taking it (in throat area and chest pain - which is very slow to abate). I am stopping this drug and using Gaviscon for awhile as I feel it has done some damage now - with such long term and medically approved useage.
I `trusted' to help GERD but am convinced that it has done more damage than good as my digestive system seems to have gone haywire nd I feel quite unwell after using it now.
caused severe chest pain which the doctor said was normal. I stopped taking it and went back to my first med and I do not have any problems
was given 150mg twice daily but the side effects noted were so strong I have reduced it to 150mg once a day. still feeling the effects though not as bad. the anxiety is the worse for me. i do have anti-anxiety drugs but I don't want to have to take them just because of this medication, so I'm not taking this after today. not worth the trouble. not a medication I would recommend at this point.
I have been taking Ranitidine (or generic Zantac if you may) since 2000 and thus far it's been the only thing besides Prevacid that keeps my GERD under control. However, if I take it for a few days or so straight, I start suffering with nausea and have to quit taking it.

1st year had some spotting now have nothing that I can notice
I metabolize meds quickly, so I feel like this one goes through my system quickly.
After Angioplasty / hyper tension
For years I was prescribed 40 mg in the morning and 40 mg at night. 80 mg a day and with all the side effects I was having you would think my doctor would suspect the drug. Heck, you would think I would suspect the drug! You are your own best advocate. Research it. There are plenty of other people online that are having the same problems you are.
irregular/debilitating periods
I have experienced extreme bloating, to the point where i can't get my wedding ring on or off. I had it sized smaller just months before because it was to loose before starting HRT. I have gained 5 lbs. noticably around my lower stomach and waist, in just 4 weeks and have a ravenous appetite.I have always worked out daily and maintained my weight suddenly I can't lose a pound. I'm stopping the daily cream Prog/DHEA/Test and capsules Progest 150mg days 14-28... asap.cream and capsules and continuing the adrenal stress support supplement.
I felt a little fatigued for about a month. But then my body got used to the medication and no side effects whatsoever.
The tingling was weird but tolerable. The visual disturbances were troublesome at night (I no longer could tolerate any glare while driving). Didn't mind the weight loss. Didn't tell doc this bizzarre thing, cause I thought she'd think I was nuts, but was always double typing/writing words in emails, or letters. In other words I would would write this! I thought I was nuts, but swear its from the med, once I stopped, it went away. It did help with my migraines though, suffered for many years with them. Was up to 100mg daily.
i had a better experience with this pill than others i have been on, but i don't feel like the side effects outweigh the benefits
no side effects....no effects at all
