Common Questions and Answers about Protonix and cannabis

protonix

Avatar f tn I take Protonix to control my gerd. An allergist recommended this and it does seem to make a difference. Does anyone else take these types of meds to control their gerd and, ultimately, help with asthma? I cannot get Protonix any longer through my health insurance and was wondering if someone took something else as effective. Prilosec and Nexium do not have as good as effect as Protonix for me. Thanks.
Avatar n tn This is the first study that evaluates the relationship between alcohol and cannabis use in patients with HCV and those coinfected with HCV/HIV. It is of great importance to disease management that physicians understand the factors influencing HCV disease severity, especially those that are potentially modifiable. The use and abuse of both alcohol and marijuana together is not an uncommon behavior.
Avatar m tn The primary role of cannabis is to stimulate appetite, reduce nausea and vomiting, and treat joint pain. This role is applicable to HCV patients undergoing chemotherapy, those with cancer or cirrhosis, and those with joint pain and headache. Cannabis is far less toxic than other medications that might be prescribed for these conditions and where liver impairment is concerned, it is vital to avoid toxicity.
Avatar n tn listen carefully.... my exs brother was a regular weed/cannabis smoker for 16years before he became ill with scitphzo and anxisty etc etc me and my ex first notcied a change in andy me ex bro when he started saying starange things ..one day we picked him up from his flat and he opened his door with such a stoned scary look on his face and when we got our car he started telling us that we'd been outside the night before shouting 6floors from down stairs up to him at 1am in the morning .
Avatar n tn t have evidence that a person should forgo chemo and just use cannabis. But there is evidence that cannabis is useful for the side effects of chemo, and it does not interfere with the benefits (and sometimes makes the chemo more effective). If Cannabis was a terrible immuno-suppressant, we would not have thousands of studies that show that cannabinoids slow the growth of cancer cells.
Avatar f tn Hi from what I understand protonix is an rx while prilosec is over the counter meds...... so I do believe that the protonix is stronger.I am not a dr, just going on what I do know, I know both r PPI and work much the same way.....Ur dr should be able to say y he changed ur meds...everyone is different and react to the meds differently....maybe bcuz the prilosec dtopped working instead of changing meds he should check to see y u r making so much acid. I have noticed mine cycles....
Avatar m tn we know that morphine would not be a good combination with cannabis oil and are maybe going to try and wing her off morphine and replace it with cannabis oil. I would really appreciate some advice. I can elaborate on anything if needed.
Avatar m tn It cuts down a lot on the carcinogens, which are probably the particles that cause damage. You can also try making butter from cannabis and use it that way instead of smoking it. Just Google and you will find answers to all this. Your doctor has to prescribe it for medical use, then you need to apply in your state for a Medical Marijuana Card. I would not smoke it and not have a Medical Marijuana Card.
Avatar m tn to be worse when using cannabis, I put felt in quotations because cannabis does tend to make me paranoid and exaggerate certain feelings.
Avatar m tn 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. I went off of it two days ago, took omaprazole instead, and have had a 50% reduction in the pain. Has anyone else experienced this. I am reluctant to mention it to the doctor because I'm afraid he will dismiss it. I want to be sure before I talk to him.
Avatar m tn Tobacco and cannabis are always bad for you, every organ of your body and not something you should ask for permission to do.
Avatar f tn I have personal close friends that would be dead right now if not for Cannabis. Safest substance known to man. No one and I mean no one has ever died from Cannabis. You can die from asprin. Get educated and believe in yourself. God bless you.

Avatar f tn Should I stop consuming cannabis with invega sustenna? And if I don’t what are the interactions I was just told it causes sedation.
Avatar f tn Hi Selma, I thank God that I had an abdominal ulrasound and cat scan with and without IV contrast and all was clear. I was so afraid that I had pancreatic cancer. My Dr told me that the CT scan was the best test for the pancreas. I just get nervous because I still get a discomfort way up high under my breastboneand occasionaly in my back but my Dr said this could be acid reflux. My endescopy also showed that I have gastritis which I know is painful as well.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar m tn kevwaw, Sorry to hear about the panic attacks and anxiety. I was a heavy cannabis user for over 10 years until around the age of 27. I can attest it worsened my anxiety issues. I've had bad moments where I felt like I was going to pass out when I just wasn't in the right state of smoking it. Those were rare occasions. I noticed when I stopped smoking it for the first time, I started back and immediately experienced over-sensitive feelings.

"The fact that both CB1 and CB2 (Endocannabinoid) receptors have been found on immune cells suggests that cannabinoids play an important role in the regulation of the immune system.
177337 tn?1310059899 RNRita - I'm worried about going off because it really did help. I used to use Gaviscon but it stopped working. I have been on Protonix for quite a while so maybe I will stop and see if I can have luck with Gaviscon and Tums again. Did the pvc's stop right away as soon as you went off it? WIsconsin2007 - I don't see any literature with palps as a side effect either and my cardio gave them to me and told me it wouldn't bother my heart. But I have to wonder....
Avatar n tn I have been using Protonix for almost a year now and it's worked great to help my Gastritis but I noticed something. Since taking it, my period comes later than it used to and for less time. I am a bit worried, is everything ok?
Avatar m tn Hospice care started this week. Protonix given daily - is it needed? Asymptomatic and no hx of gastric reflux.
19440529 tn?1477733579 ) In light of widespread legislative efforts to legalize medicinal and recreational use of cannabis, we reviewed the scientific evidence pertinent to this issue, and published a review and synthesis of the findings in an article that appeared in the March/April 2012 issue of Missouri Medicine. The studies clearly demonstrated significant adverse effects of cannabis smoking on physical and mental health and on social and occupational functioning.
Avatar f tn We don't have medicinal mary jane where I'm at, but I do know that my husband takes an occasional toke to relieve his severe aches/pains/migrains...the same kind that pills were unable to achieve. But do beware: if you have an addictive personality...pot will be addictive for you too. I dont' like pot at all...it makes me too hungry, and gives me a pot'hangover the next day (makes me mentally slow.) The choice is yours.
Avatar f tn Our results suggest that modest cannabis use may offer symptomatic and virological benefit to some patients undergoing HCV treatment by helping them maintain adherence to the challenging medication regimen," the researchers concluded. According to Mirken, this is thought to be the first published study linking medical marijuana to improved cure rates for a life-threatening illness. http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, as rightly stated by Nikodicreta, there is no specific medical term for cannabis allergy. We can simply term it as ' cannabis allergy' or ' allergic to cannabis'. Hemp is not used commonly in medical practice. I hope this helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Some studies have shown that it can actually reverse the effects of cancer. Take a few moments and check out medical cannabis on google. You will find many many conditions that cannabis helps. Depression is one of the most common along with chronic pain. Stop bashing a natuar herb in favor of a chemical drug! Thats what got us all here in the first place!
1479013 tn?1330699762 t help but had to try that first before insurance would pay for Protonix. I have been on Protonix for over a year now and am having problems again. Right after I eat, I get bloated; I liken it to when you are full and you bend over to tie your shoe and you feel so much pressure on your stomach and diaphragm area and your head feels full of pressure. That's what I feel like after I eat and I am NOT bending over.
