Avatar n tn Can my mom take 40 mg of pantoprazole instead of 20 mg of teva-rabeprazole because she is out of teva-rabeprazole. It is extremely dangerous to substitute one drug for another. Your mom needs to go back to the doctor who prescribed her the teva-rabeprazole and tell him or her that her prescription is finished. The other drug you're asking if your mother should take i.e. the pantoprazole is also twice the amount of the other.
Avatar n tn I am a 29 yr old male, had a superficial duodenal ulcer in 2005, My doc had suggested Rabeprazole sodium 20mg which worked well then, he suggested i use it when ever i felt stomach burning or nausea. I have been using Rabeprazole for 5 years now, was workin good, recently my symptoms were back and i started taking 2 doses 20mg each daily.
Avatar f tn Currently my prescribed med i take are spironolactone 100 mg/day, bupropion 400 mg/day, domperidone 40 mg/day, rabeprazole ec 20 mg/day, arthrotec 100 mg/day, Trazodone 200 mg/day, ducosate sod 200 mg/day, and citalopram 60 mg/day. exlax is extra strength and i take two/day and the diurex is 200 mg and I take 1/day. Just a little history on me for such a short question I want to ask, but I want you to have all the info.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm a 20 yr old (underweight) chinese female. I've been experiencing acid reflux for almost 3 months now. It sort of happened overnight with incredible stomach churning. At first I thought it was stomach flu until I realised that my throat was feeling weird and I was getting air involuntarily popping at my throat. (I hardly ever burp before this.) The docter prescribed me with Omeprazole for 2 weeks.
Avatar n tn Since that attack I have been plagued with continuous upper abdomal discomfort, gurgling, wind and pain on both right and left side immediately under the breast. I even have shap chest pain. I wonder if I suffer from SOD and if so does anyone else have these symptoms. They often resemble symptoms of hiatus hernia, indigestion and heartburn.
Avatar n tn Hi All, I am a 30 year old male suffering from obssessive thoughts, I had a stomach ulcers 6 years back and i use Rabeprazole 20 mg daily as a maintenance therapy, My GP suggested escitalopram (Lexapro 10mg) daily, after 2 weeks using the medicine i feel much better and my thoughts have come down, however 2 weeks into the medication i started having severe stomach burning sensation especially in the upper stomach behind the breast bone and the center of the rib cage, i recognise its the same fee
400667 tn?1203744543 I had read a post a while back about SOD and how it mimics Cyclic Vomiting. Can someone please give me some input on what SOD is and in what way it mimics Cyclic or if these two syndromes are in any way related. It would be greatly appreciated. I have a friend that has a son that has been dignosed with cyclic but when I saw the post as first mentioned I read that SOD very well could mimic cyclic. If not SOD is anybody aware of any other syndromes to look for that might mimic cyclic symptoms?
Avatar m tn t suggested, find another doc who understands SOD. SOD can only be diagnosed with manometry. If the pressures are raised it's the only time that a sphincterotomy should be done - and pressures can only be measured via manometry.
Avatar n tn I think it was, but the Dr. said she would let me know it there was a problem. I am currently on rabeprazole for a duodenial ulcer. Not working. I used to be on Prevacid for excess stomach acid, but stopped using it when I went on the rabeprazole. I have an appt. on Monday with Dr. and hope he can find a solution. In the meantime I am unable to eat and see no relief in site. Any suggestions? I am losing my mind !!
Avatar n tn I have noticed you have written on SOD. I was wondering if that is what I may be suffering from. I do not have pain though, only extreme pressure under both rib cages and the middle of my sternum. I have exhausted all tests with the exception of ERCP exam. I am able to get positional relief from my symptoms when I lay flat on my stomach or on either side. The symptoms are constant and never completely go away.
Avatar f tn Are you working with a doc who is very familiar with SOD? The only way to definitvely to diagnose SOD is via an ERCP with manometry.
Avatar f tn These do not guarantee showing SOD, but there are two types of SOD that can be indicated by checking these levels. The only true way to DX SOD is via ERCP with manometry which should only be done by top experts in the country. I agree with CalGal....SOD can be the beginning of a long road pain, although some have luck with medical treatment (meds) and surgery.
Avatar f tn Check with the SOD group at yahoo - good people, good information. You need to be working iwth a SOD specialist to find out IF you have it, and if so, what type. In the meantime, have you discussed using either high doses of anti-spasm meds, or calcium channel blockers or even nitroglycerin to see if it will help? Do you also know that narcotic-based meds can make things worse?
Avatar n tn It can be very difficult to find a doc that knows of SOD. Much like that Mystery Diagnosis show on DH, most SOD patients go through a lot of problems while they are trying to figure out what is going on. where are you guys from? You need to find a GI who specializes in diseases of the pancreas, or at least knows of SOD and can refer you to someone who does. Major centers that I trust are in North Carolina, Minnesota and Indiana.
Avatar n tn I am scheduled for a ercp in two weeks. I am a type 3 sod and am quite nervous if anyone could give me advice on if this is a good idea I wood apreciate it. I live in pain daily. I have five kids I am divorced and cannot work and now live with my parents because I lost my job and home because of this illness. If anyone has suffered with this I could use help in knowing what you did to get help.
Avatar n tn However, I discussed this with my doc and she said due to the fact that the HIDA scan revealed an issue with the gall bladder it is not SOD as SOD is diagnosed when all tests come back normal and my HIDA scan did not. I have had many docs tell me many and very different diagnosis so any ideas, suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!
Avatar m tn Hi, your symptoms could be due to sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD). The diagnosis of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) is frequently a challenge. The simple combination of biliary type symptoms, common bile duct dilation, and elevations of liver function tests, when retained stones have been ruled out makes a strong arguement for type I SOD. The vast majority of patients will see significant relief of symptoms following an endoscopic shincterotomy in this category.
Avatar f tn Working on the pancreas is very different that SOD. Although with SOD the bile and the pancreatic fluids can back up and it can cause pancreatic issues. You don't want to be working with a primary doc on this issue. You should be working with someone with a large amount to experience in biliary issues and especially in SOD. It's a very specialized field, and small changes in medications can make large changes in the pressures.
Avatar f tn Sorry for your suffering - I also have SOD, but not as severely as your symptoms are. You might have both Pancreatitis and SOD at the same time which is difficult. Mammo had good advice - get away from your current doctor. YOu need to get to a GI who specializes in SOD and diseases of the pancreas. There are a few places in the country, and as great as a reputation that the Mayo has for many different conditions, I have not heard good things about them when trying to explore SOD.
