i have been diagnosed with gerd and a hiata hernia i am a black female 5ft2 and 233 pounds i have been on five different prescriptions currently i am on 60 mg of kapidex i have been losing weight and losing my appetite sometimes the kapidex gives me relief sometimes it doesn't what can i do for relief when it doesn't work? and how far can acid reflux travel.
I was recently diagnosed with acid reflux, after an endoscopy that showed some gastritis and inflammation in my esophagus and a clean ultrasound. I've tried different medicines and the only one I've found so far that lets me live relatively pain-free is Kapidex. I took a free trial of it for 10 days, during which time I helped, but then went back off of it for a week (trying a different, cheaper medicine) before going back on it.
Also, I recently heard about Kapidex. Is this significantly better than the others out there (including the Nexium I am on) or should I stick with the Nexium?
Doc then add a 300mg Zantac at night, still not much relief so she sent me to a GI Specialist last week who persccribed Kapidex 60 mg. Just started that yesterday. He also ordered a Upper Endoscopy and a Esophageal Manmomentary (I seem to have ALOT of stuff draining/clogged in my throat..like a post nasal drip thing). Im having these tests doe next week. I've been dealing with GERD symptoms for about 8 years so taking PPIs off an on as needed. But, this bout of whatever it is..
ve never tried Domperidone, but the only meds that helped me were Nexium or Kapidex taken twice daily. I tried prevacid and it was very brief because it just didn't work for me :(
Also, I use to take one Kapidex/Nexium PLUS some Amitriplyn, but I knocked the amitriplyn out of my regimen. Either way, it offered more good days then bad.
Thanks Selma I am taking Kapidex 60mg, I was taking previously prev acid once in the morning and once at night didnt work, then I wnt with Protonix, Kapidex is supposed to be a new med but doesnt seem to work. the dr says I may have a very sensitive esophagus that is why I feel everthing all the time. Is there such a thing as having a sensitive esopahgus that feels everything without the damage?
Went to my Dr and she said it was Gastritis and put me on Kapidex 2x a day for 3 days and then once a day thereafter. The next day my lower back has starting hurting. I went in on Tuesday for pain in the back and she prescribed naxoprene and a muscle relaxer. The pain went away once from the pain medicine and now does nothing. I've been having bouts of diarrhea and then constipation also. Today my back pain is excrutiating and the past two days my stools have been dark brown/black.
Perhaps you can find some helpful information. I take one Prilosec, 20 mg(prescribed); Prilosec ,10 mg is sold OTC at any pharmacy. Here is the website: http:digestive.niddk.gov. I do not know why, but the website takes you to Google that list the same URL. Click on the Heading, Digestive, and search.
I am taking 50 mg of Seroquel will I gain weight from it it was describe for depressed and to help me sleep
They found that i have a hiatial hernia as well as a weak les sphincter. Anyways my GI doctor put me on kapidex after followup. I prefer kapidex to protonix and i was doing pretty good until this morning when i had a random bout of nausea. Luckily i had some phenegren left so i took it and got better. I have already bought the special pillow that raises my head while sleeping and i think has really helped me.
I switched to taking tums multiple times a day, which worked for a couple months and then stopped. I tried Kapidex which also worked perfectly for about 3 months and then completely stopped working. Zantac worked for about a month and is now subsiding. My doctor has added carafate, but the pains are still not gone. They usually come when I haven't eaten for a while and let myself get hungry at all. I try to eat every 2-3 hours but am not always able to.
Hey all thank you so much!!!! I'm 60 days off 8-10 30 mg roxi's a day. I thought I had to live like that forever! I was on pills for 6 years! I tried to stop twice and didn't have the tools to stop. If it wasn't for jrizzy sudie Sara and tons of others to tell me about with draws and the Thomas recipe and the amino acids I would still be on them. I thought with draws were alot longer.
Everyone that is trying to stop you can do it!
I am afraid to eat other things. What an I do. I am taking Kapidex and take giner tea. I also take anxiety meds just because of this feelings in my throat.
Could be some gall bladder pain, dont eat late stick to low fat meals , it could also be a pulled muscle if you have started weight training ..
I am now 60 hours clean after my 3.5 year addiction to percs - up to 100 mg a day. When can I start to feel better? At this point I am mostly just a little achy, dizzy and have no energy. When will I feel like me again?? I am taking the clonidine patch and klonopin (which I have been on for a few months).

He has tried long periods using Prilosec, Pepcid, Zantac, Kapidex and most recently Pantoprazole 40 mg. His gastroenterologist seems to be running out of ideas. Is there a specific organ we should be looking at? A different kind of test? Should he be taking probiotics? Should he sleep standing up? Thank you for any ideas. At this point we would go to a clinic out of state to get a better result. We live in Pittsburgh.
Another conversion chart says that 60 mg of Armour is equivalent of 75 mcg of T4. For the latter, that would have been 120 mg of Armour instead of 90. So, just be aware that you most likely will need an increase, for that reason as well continuing to have symptoms.
Another couple of things to consider is that any med with T3 in it is best taken by splitting the dose in half and taking 1/2 in the morning and half in the afternoon.
