User Reviews for AcipHex oral

Began having a very stiff neck and shoulders about a week after taking it. Had "flu-like symptoms, but without fever. Two days after stopping the med. all of the other symptoms disappeared. Anyone else have these kinds of side-effects.

My doctor gave me a couple bottles of samples for like 20 days. I had heartburn only a couple of times while on this medince but I think that's because I ate foods that I shouldn't of. But it did improve my heartburn because I would always have a constant burning feeling in my throat. Sadly I went to the doc yesterday to get a prescription for it and found out my insurance doesn't cover it. I am going to get a prescription for nexium on Monday. If anyone is thinking of trying this drug or is just on the the samples to see if it helps, I would suggest calling your health insurance provider to see if it is covered. I thought for sure aciphex would be covered with my insurance since I have military. But no I guess it is just too expensive.Read More Read Less

Even with a change in diet, and eating small meals, I get bloated and have a lot of gas. Other drugs have not resolved my erosive esophogitis, so I will continue with Aciphex unless these side effects worsen.

I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophogas a year ago and had problems swallowing pills. This goes down fairly easy with applesauce

after many diff RX's, Aciphex is the only RX which stopped the waking up choking and really bad stomach problems. happy to report 5 years and still feeling great.

I took this for about three months. Sleeping on an incline and dietary changes (no pop, caffeine or alcohol) relieved pain that was so bad I thought I had a heart problem.

Aciphex has stopped my acid reflux. If I miss two daily doses, I will immediately start in with burning pain and reflux. I am concerned I have been on this medicine for 6 years.

In addition to GERD, I found relief for many other stomach issues I have had since youth. Yet, Ins Co pushing to change me to formulary med Prevacid; after reading these reviews, I am inclined to refuse. It is more important that the condition not return. If I am sick, I won't be saving any money, just spending it on different things. I had already tried the formulary drugs and would not have needed Aciphex if they had worked initially. Aciphex has changed my life and has helped me to lose weight, sleep better, and many many other advantages. except too expensive.Read More Read Less

has anyone had irregular heart beats/palpitations and high blood pressure due to aciphex?

I have been using this medication for several years now and have discovered this is the only treatment that has not had any of the side effects common with other treatments: No diarrhea, no sudden urges to go to the bathroom, etc. One comment that should be mentioned, though: Skipping or ending treatment with this medication has brought the reflux back with a vengeance. I am resigned to the fact that this will be a life-long treatment, but as log as it continues to work as well as it does, I will continue taking it.Read More Read Less

condition returned after a few weeks.

I have only been on this medication a short time but it works great. I haven't experienced any acid reflux attacks since I've been using this medication.

This medication has worked great for me with no side effects.

I have been experiencing stomach pain, vomiting and massive heartburn. My Dr prescribed Aciphex and the condition went away. I stopped taking the Aciphex and was ok for about 2 weeks. Then the symptoms came back again. Started taking Aciphex, and they went away. I cannot live without this. Its great for Reflux and stomach ulcers.

I had chest pain, especially after eating, and sometime had reflux that I could feel, and Aciphex has completely treated my symptoms, better than some others.

The doctor took me off Prilosec and put me on this. I felt better one day and now the burning is back and I can actually hear my stomach roiling.

It works immediately! I love it. I have been on it for several years and if I miss a couple days, I am OK...as long as I don't get carried away with the spicey food or caffeine and carbonation. Before, I was miserable 24-7 from my condition

I sleep better when I'm taking this medicine and have no heartburn no coughing,and no water forming in my mouth.

I tried a number of other medications - both over the counter and prescription - to control my recurring, severe heartburn. This one is the only one that worked effectively.
