User Reviews for Dexlansoprazole

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): 10 years had daily heartburn. Tried every prescription and over the counter medicine with minimal relief. Continued to have daily breakthrough heartburn. Ended up eating tums like candy, then took Dexilant, 5 days later realized I hadnt taken any tums and not one episode of heartburn. This is an awesome new medication!

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): I have had GERD since 1997. I have used Prilosec, Nexium, Aciphex, Prevacid, and Protonix (most recently). NONE of them worked. I was on a double-dose of Protonix when my GP sent me to the GI Specialist for a upper gastrointestina Scope. After that I was prescribed Dexilant. Not only has it 'CURED' my GERD symptoms, it has also settled my IBS symptoms. I used to have to go to the bathroom almost immediately after eating and more than once a day I would have 'emergency' moments where if I didn't get to the bathroom quick I was in trouble. All of those symptoms are gone. I know this doesn't work for everyone but if you're like me and you've tried it all you need to give this medicine a try. It is amazing.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole): I currently have been diagnosised with GERD, chronic gastritis, and esophagitis. I have been taking 2 Protonix 40 mg a for 2 years and started taking Zantac 150 mg twice a day work 2 months now. That is 4 pills daily. My Gastroenterologist put me on Kapidex for a month now. I have not had any problems so far. I cannot see inside my body to see if it works but hey if it can take me from 4 pills a day to only 1 I will take it. The only thing is the cost.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): Works great for the heartburn. Received a sample from the Doctor and took it for 10 days no problem till day 9/10. Started with terrible abdominal pain, gas, and diarrhea. Still have diarrhea about an hour after I eat and first thing in the morning. Stopped taking the medicine about 5 days ago. Will have to go back to the Protonix and deal with the breakthrough heartburn. The difference between Protonix and Dexilant is that the Dexilant has a short acting and long acting medication in it to prevent break through heartburn.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole): After finally getting around to reading about the possible side effects, I now know why I am having a major acne breakout, also nausea and very loose stools. I don't know what else I can do, but this medicine is not for me.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole): I was diagnosed with severe GERD and Barrett's Disease several months ago. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work until now. Kapidex has been amazing. I have had no side-effects and at my last gastroscope, everything was looking A LOT better. Kapidex, along with following GERD food guidelines has made me feel 100% better.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): Dexilant gave me every side effect on the label. "Not Good, I have never had diarrhea like this before. Pain in my stomach, chest pain, like having a heart attack. This has been the worst experience I have ever had. Sure hope others read this before taking this medicine. It should be taken off the market.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole): Definitely I recommend Kapidex. My digestion is normal and my life have been improved. Nexium works for me but too slow.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): I would rate this a 10 for treating GERD; however, I am giving it a 7 due to side effects. I have had no problems with GERD since beginning the medicine but I am experiencing an increase in blood pressure. I also am experiencing dizziness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, tightness in my throat, pressure in my chest that makes me feel like I am going to vomit (although I do not feel nauseated), and just a general overall bad feeling. This does not happen until the extended release of the medication occurs at about 4-5 hours after administration. Although it treats my GERD symptoms great I have decided it is not worth the other side effects that I am having.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): Wonderful new medicine! Works wonders.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): Had taken over the counter medicines for almost 15 years. Had tried many different prescription medicines too, and Dexilant has been the "wonder drug". I got to the point of throwing up in my sleep at least 2 times a week for the last 3 months. But, have not had one episode of vomiting since I began the medicine. I even cooked an Indian Dish the other night that I would not have even tried (just for the family usually) and I had my first enjoyment of spicy foods in over 15 ( )years. Amazing. Completely AMAZING.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole): I had a severe allergic reaction to this medication. Hives on the trunk of my body. The palms of my hands and the soles of my feet had severe itching. The itching was also in my throat and ears.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): I started with GERD symptoms in August 2010. Tried over the counter medications and my NP precribed aciphex. No change. Discouraged. She then prescribed Dexilant and it has been a miracle. I can drink a cup of coffee again. However, for a month now I have the diarrhea side effect, but I'll put up with it for now.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): I have been taking Dexilant for about 2 weeks. I did not realize how bad I had been feeling before taking the drug. I thought I was just a stomach sensitive person and would just have to put up with the ups and downs. It's all ups now, I feel great.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): Been taking Dexilant for over a year. Have had diarrhea almost daily and have now began having joint pain and a general tiredness and ill feeling. Works great for reflux but seems to be having an adverse effect on my entire system.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole): Kapidex has worked better than Nexium, Protonix, Zegerid, Prevacid, and Aciphex in controlling my GERD symptoms. It is great because you only take one per day.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole): This seems to work as well as Nexium 40MG. Actually no reflux so far with this product. Very happy. Only downside is Medicare codes it tier 3, high copay.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole): 3 months of Protonix did nothing, after taking Kapidex, I noticed improvement within 2 weeks and most symptoms gone after 5 weeks.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): I was given Dexilant for irritable bowel syndrome due to severe pain after eating on my left side. The pain disappeared and I felt great. No more problems sleeping or getting up in the middle of the night for a bowel movement. Then I started realizing that I was itching all over, but nothing was there. There was a prickly feeling in my skin all over which got worse at night. I also seemed to have a sensitivity to fabrics including smooth microfiber. When I looked up the medicine I noticed you are only supposed to take it for 8 weeks (taken 30 days) and that it has a slew of side effects including itching. As much as it has cured my stomach issues, I can't take the itching constantly so I am quitting.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole): I was taking 2 Prevacid every day for really bad heartburn. My doctor switched me to Nexium and I still found myself taking 2 pills a day to avoid waking up at night with a horrible taste in my mouth and pain in my chest. Next, my doctor told me to try Kapidex and she said I would only have to take it once a day. I didn't believe her until I tried it. I didn't wake up at night wanting another heartburn pill! It works so much better than Nexium and Prevacid and my doctor told me those two were the best. My doctor and I now think Kapidex is the best.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): I have flare ups of GERD where my throat feels raw for weeks at a time, and my sinuses feel raw. In the past Prescription strength Omeprazole has worked well. I went to my doctor's partner and he gave me 20 days worth of Dexilant for free so I have stuck with it longer than I should have. It has done absolutely nothing positive for me. Strangely enough, after taking it for 2 weeks my eyes became extremely dry and uncomfortable. I am going back to prescription omeprazole.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): I started taking this after it was recommended by a second GI doctor who performed a endoscopic ultrasound in an attempt to determine the cause of my chest pain (recently diagnosed as nutcracker esophagus). I had been on AciPhex for years with excellent results but Dexilant has been giving me a host of symptoms. My acid reflux has returned and I have developed severe diarrhea, gas and bloating that is resistant to all anti-diarrhea medications - both OTC and prescription. Hopefully I will go back to the AciPhex next week. I don't think I can stand this much longer.

Dexilant (dexlansoprazole): I have been taking Dexilant for almost a year now, and although it helps with my heartburn I have gained weight, I am tired a lot. I have now developed sinus problems and I am getting a lot of headaches. I am not sure if any of these are noted side effects, but this is what is happening to me.

dexlansoprazole: Nothing else worked until I took this

dexlansoprazole: I've been through all of the proton pump inhibitors. This was my last hope before resorting to surgery. Took about 10 days to kick in, but this stuff works.
