"Had acid reflux. I lost my voice from it for 6 weeks, went to an ear-nose-throat doctor. Got Nexium, which gave extreme headaches as a side effect. Another doctor gave me 30 free samples of Kapidex 60 mg. I got no headaches. Took 1 pill, and my voice is returning to normal. Good product. Doctor may give Pepcid AC or 300 mg of Zantac if your insurance doesn't cover it."

"In case folks weren't aware, 'KAPIDEX' is now called 'DEXILANT'. I have had acid reflux/GERD for about five years. Protonix was the first medicine tried. I don't think it did much. Nexium worked very well. The doctor thought Dexilant would work better since it gives two releases of medication. I have used it for over a year with switching back to Nexium a couple of times. I will say that Dexilant seems to work about the same as Nexium. Recently, I stopped taking any medication for about 4 days. That was a mistake. I felt fine for about three days. On the fourth, the painful heartburn came back with a vengeance."

"I felt relief the very first day I started taking Kapidex for erosive esophagus and GERD. It is the only drug that has worked for me. I have had absolutely no side effects. It's wonderful to be able to eat again."

"I have been taking Kapidex for about 3 weeks now, and it is a strange medication. I seem to have less ulcer pain now, but my stomach acid is higher than when I was taking Prilosec OTC. Also, since taking the medication, I have needed to use antacids, which I never did with the Prilosec or the Prevacid 30 mg. The studies show this works long term (8 weeks), but I can't wait that long to find out."
