would Nexium pose the same problems for her?
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?
I have been on that but it didn't work that great after a while. Kapidex or previcid works. Liquid carafete helps to.
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 am 51 and have been having intermittent squeezing chest pain on the right side of my chest. it feels like a squeeze and a twist. i have no discomfort on exercise. i do have a history of acid reflux and have had to quit coffee lately because it gives me central chest discomfort. my current pain today is almost constant. i do also have several trigger points on the right side of my chest. i have also recently started doing bench presses in the gym.
Wow, that's quite a lot of PACs!
I can't even imagine how you feel. On a bad day I get about 100 PACs and I feel like going crazy. I can't argue with your cardiologist, but I've never heard of someone getting PACs treated with flecainide. It can cause side effects, and if it doesn't work anyway, you should probably consult with him and ask if you can stop using this (NB! only change drugs after consulting your doctor!
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.
so u have mild GERD....but bcuz it has just been addressed u will feel the effects constantly until u get it under control....also being mild is a good thing...it should be easier to calm down with meds and hopefully heal ne damage.
What meds were u rx'd?
Did ur dr also tell u of foods to avoid and lifestyle changes that will aid the meds to calm ur GERD?

I follow a strict diet, no fatty , greasy, fried ,alcoholic or dairy. I elevate my head in bed and lay on my left side.
I will do that it seems the higher dose has created this and I'm not on anything else.
Many AD's have side effects that affect the libido, guess it applies to both sex es. As far as I know all AD's have this drastic effect . Hopefully you'll find one that's OK for you . Good luck.
Yes, I've only been on it a week and I experience the muscle aches and bilateral flank pain as well. In addition, insomnia!

Hi. I am on week 60/72, second round of treatment. I was really really sick after shot for first few months and then this resolved and became tolerable at least. I now find that I am having these same significant side effects later in tx. This didn't happen last round, but I went 48 then. Anyone else have this happen?
Cancer removed May 22, 2007, chemo July 2nd through October 8, 2007, and radiation on left breast November 2nd through December 26, 2008. Side effect from Taxol perminent numb toes, side effects so far from Tamoxifen body temperature changes of warmth then cold. The web page sites and telephone numbers did not have this information.
I have been prescribed Acebutolol for PVC's and I am literally exhausted since beginning this medication but I didn't see that as one of the side effects. Also, my vision is blurred. Is this normal?
