Nexium and Protonix are effective in relieving my GERD but they make me so drowsy that I can barely function all day. Is Aciphex likely to have the same effect? Does anyone know of a proton pump inhibitor that is not likely to affect me in the same way? Thanks.

Aciphex is similar to Protonix and Nexium so may have the same reaction. I am surprised they make you tired, they shouldn't do that. I do not know of any other Proton Pump Inhibitor that is any different unfortunately. They are pretty much all the same. If you find one that is different let me know please I would be curious to try it myself. Everyone is different in how there bodies handle medicine. Good luck with the Aciphex hope it helps and hope you can stay alert.
