Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Helicobacter Pylori Infection: I was put on Aciphex after antibiotic/PPI treatment for H.pylori and it does really work. It has been 1 year and I can feel the difference. The doctor put me on 12 straight weeks of it at first and now am taking it 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off, etc. and it is keeping the reflux and pain away.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Erosive Esophagitis: Was relieved to see that someone else has used this drug even longer than I have. I've been on it for 9 years with erosive esophagitis. I've rarely had any symtoms and can eat anything. I haven't been able to find any studies of long time use.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I HAVE TAKEN EVERY MEDICINE OUT THERE FOR MY ACID REFLUX AND I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND ACIPHEX WORKS WELL. I STILL HAVE BAD DAYS BUT I'VE TRIED TO SKIP DAYS WITHOUT TAKING MY ACIPHEX AND CAN TELL A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I take AcipHex every morning to control my heartburn symptoms. After I eat breakfast, I get heartburn from the coffee and juice. I take AcipHex after breakfast and I always find it works really fast to make my heartburn go away. Even when I go to bed at night, I don't have heartburn. The other best thing is that it's a tiny pill, and it's so easy to swallow. Half the time I don't even have to have something to drink.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I have severe acid reflux and tried numerous medications - Tagamet, Nexium and many over the counter medicines. Aciphex is the only medication that has helped. I've taken it for 8 years with no side effects.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I started taking AcipHex a while ago for GERD. It is working quite well. What interests me is that all of a sudden the plantar warts on my feet that I have struggled with for years are retreating rapidly, with no new sign of spreading. I have heard that Cimetidine (Tagamet) is sometimes prescribed for warts.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I lived with severe heartburn for years. It was absolutely crippling at times. I had to essentially watch everything I ate and drank. Aciphex gave me my life back. I recommend looking into it as a possible treatment.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Erosive Esophagitis: In my experience Aciphex proved far superior to the generic brand I was given. I don't know the technical difference, but Aciphex (taken once in AM & once in PM) alleviated the painful burnings in my stomach and up to my throat within a few days. The generic form seemed not to work as well or quickly and I suspected as a possible cause of simultaneous depression (which may or may not have been related...)

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Duodenal Ulcer: I've been sick every morning for over a month, often vomiting, and cannot eat until late in the day. And no, I'm not pregnant. I've only been on Aciphex for about a week and it is the only thing that has made me feel close to normal again.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: Medicine appears to be working. On my second day, I have no heartburn. I am a little concerned about my headache that I have had all day today. I am hoping that this is but a small price to pay, if my esophagus will benefit from this medicine.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Erosive Esophagitis: I was on other proton pump inhibitors but had a constant headache while using them. Aciphex relieves my symptoms with no percieved side effects. Great drug and I've been on it for over 10 years. I have no evidence of further esophageal erosion and have been diagnosed by biopsy of having Barrett's esophagus. I can eat anything now.

Aciphex (rabeprazole) for Stomach Ulcer: I have been using aciphex for years. First in conjunction with other meds to treat a problem with stomach ulcers and,then and now,to control acid reflux. I have always had great success using this medication. Recently my physician has taken me from a daily dose to an "as needed" dosage.
