protonix
Hi, I took protonix for 5 years and all of a sudden it just stop working. I took it for inflammation of the stomach and inflammation of the esp, It is really miserable.
I find gaviston liquid is the best, the mint flavoured one. Used with all my 4 pregnancies.
Anyone out there on Protonix? I was diagnosed with acid reflux and was put on Nexium which helped slightly with my burping but I was still getting stomach aches. I went for an abdominal ultrasound, endescopy and CT scan with IV contrast and all came back fine. My Dr just switched me to Protonix.
The Dr gave me Nexium, but I was still getting upper stomach pain and pressure in the chest an back. I was switched to Protonix and it seemed to help with the upper stomach pain right under the breastbone. I'm taking two pills a day. Does anyone know how long Protonix takes to work? I was told that some PPI's could take 4 to six weeks to take affect.
He suggested magnesium citrate for initial cleaning out of intestines, protonix for the acid reflux and subscribed amtiza to keep my stool soft. I followed all suggestions and I am still unable to eat solid foods, I've tried staying on a liquid diet since solid food makes me neaseous and my upper abdoman swell, though I still eat a yogurt in the morning. The neaseousness is increasing and my throat even feels as though it's swollen.
And it just plain took a lot of time also. The med the Doc put me on is Protonix. A proton pump inhibitor. You may want something like Prilosec or Bentyl for the stomach too. Try drinking yogurt type smoothy shakes ... avoid caffeine and carbonation. Warm flat 7-UP is good (open and sit out).. Use ensure or Walgreens brand liquid nutrition ......... ice yogurt ..... heating pad on abdomine ...... the benzo's will relax stomach muscles ...
i have taken nexium, zegerid, plus carafate liquid. You do not fool around acid problems, because if it goes untreated you can get Barretts Esophagus, it can become cancer. It is a slow growing cancer. But you do not need cancer at any time. And make sure that you take your medicine.
I have been having small stomach aches,belching, esophagus feels clogged, feel shortness of breath, sometimes burning in chest. Gaviscon liquid and Protonix have only helped some.
Another side effect less important to the reflux is sex. Never had an antidepressant effect my sex life as much as zoloft has. I never feel in the mood for it and I feel bad for my partner who is younger and has needs too. Even seeing good looking people doesn't arouse me anymore.
I called it a poisoning because she was IVed with Protonix twice even though her drs knew she was allergic.Allergic reactions to Protonix are many and are 99 times out of 100 diagnosed as something else.Unfortunately a certain number of patients will experience severe reactions to Protonix such as pancreatitis.That is why Altana,the German company who developed Protonix made Wyeth set aside monies to cover such reactions before they sold the patent to Wyeth.
Then when I went to my doctor Thursday, she switched me to Protonix. If they are basically the same, could Protonix work for me if Prilosec OTC didn't? I'd really like to know because I've had this problem for almost 3 months now and I'm tired of eating plain food.
I went to see family doc and he did blood test to rule out pancreatitis (result came back normal), and put me on Protonix 40mg, once a day. I took for couple of weeks, and felt ok, so stopped, but pain would come back, so went back on it couple of days later. The bottle had 30pills, and one refill. After I took for 30days, I was off of it couple of days but again, the pain was coming back, so I went to get refill, and started taking daily.

gave me Protonix because I was experiencing some acid reflux...I took Protonix for 2 weeks (1 per day at 40mg) .. I have been having very bad side effects... Naseous, dizzy, increased anxiety, palpitations, gagging, insomnia, rapid heart beat. I thought I was dying. I called my Dr and he blew me off saying he never heard of such side effects and that I am getting anxious maybe I should see a therapist. I have no history of bad anxiety and racing heart like this..
Went to hospital a month ago for bleeding ulcers of the esophagus, and was given bags full of Protonix, IV for a week. Was sent home taking 40mg 2 X a day. Had microalbumin well over 400 when I had labs done for checkup. So Dr. ordered a kidney ultrasound and a nodule was found in my right kidney. I've seen several law suits about Protonix causing kidney failure!

I have posted in the pain management forum, but not in this one yet. I've been having bad neck and shoulder and shoulder blade pain on the right side for a few months. I have been taking Protonix since May, 40mgs once every evening. Because I'm not getting relief with chiropractic care or anything else for that matter, I started thinking about medication and side effects. The protonix s the only thing that could possibly be the culprit.
my dr prescribed Protonix to me and I wondering how often does someone have dizziness from it and how long does it usually last? I haven't taken it yet due to that. Also I tried omeprazole otc and it gave me headaches. Does that mean I'm more likely to have side effects from Protonix?
for those of you that experience discomfort with geographic tongue. Mix equal parts of liquid Maalox and liquid Benadryl, swish in mouth for 60 - 90 seconds and spit. The Maalox creates a coating over the sores and the Benadryl numbs the pain. For best results don't eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes after. For me, I think it helps my sores to heal faster. I also just read that this disorder is more common in women and hormones tend to play a role in breakouts.
