"Having stomach pains resulting from oral antibiotic treatment for diverticulitis. Famotidine worked great - pain went away overnight. Had huge anxiety attack on second day (never had one before). Was on famotidine 20 mg twice/day. Decided to stop it."

"From the first day, I felt 1000% better. I have had stomach and lower intestine issues for 2 years since COVID. I haven't felt this good in years. It has helped my overall health along with dizzy issues, why, I don't know, but don’t care. Highly recommended."

"I've been suffering for years with stomach ulcers. Recently, my doctor prescribed me this medication. It has worked like a charm. A lot of the pain has gone away, and I somewhat feel normal. How long this will last, I don't know. But I think it's a very good medication, and people are giving it a bad reputation for no good reason. I can't live without my medication."

"This med really aggravated my IBS, and I certainly wouldn't recommend that anyone with this condition take it. I experienced terrible bloating and severe gas pains (like IBS on steroids) and eventually diarrhea. Was told by doc to use this for a suspected large ulcer and possible herniation, and ultimately, it didn't help much at all with that. Can't get in to see a gastroenterologist until September, but in the meantime, no way will I use this again! Also, since I have had issues with diverticulitis as well, can't chance this awful drug again."

"I also have other digestive problems like I can't burp or pass wind on my own. I produce a lot of gas, have heartburn, sour stomach, and bloating. This medicine was not the first, but it works for all these and more. Better than the name brands. I take 20 mg per day and have for over 25 years, and it hasn't stopped doing the job."

"The second day I started taking this medicine, it caused severe stomach pains. The pains were so bad that I almost went to the emergency room. I had severe stomach pains for 7 days. The pain would come on every day for 3 to 4 hours, very intensive pains. I stopped taking the medicine, and the pain ended. I was very glad to figure this out. I feel much better."

"Apparently, many others on this thread have not had a phone dialed to 911 in one hand and screaming in nightmarish pain. This came out of nowhere at age 42, 6 months after stopping smoking. Now I ended up with this bad stomach pain. No previous issues ever. Long story short, if it wasn't for Dollar General brand (specific and exact) famotidine 20 mg white pill, I would still be in pain. However, because of lawyers on TV, in November of 2020, D.G. began to pull all of this miracle med from their shelves, and I was in a panic. They slowly put it back, but it's not quite the same, and now I suffer. Can't work for the pain."

"I started taking this after developing a peptic ulcer and esophagitis. It has worked well, allowing me to heal in a timely fashion. I continue to take it several nights a week when I have excess stomach acid. You can buy it OTC and double the dose to match Rx strength. No side effects for me."

"Have used this frequently, often in conjunction with a PPI, for chronic and erosive gastritis. It has helped. I have had no negative side effects. The only problem with this med is tachyphylaxis (it loses its effect fairly quickly if taken a number of days in a row), so I use it intermittently when the PPI is not doing the job, or when I am not on a PPI and have a flare up, it acts very quickly."

"Famotidine is a wonderful drug, especially for my heartburn. I can also take it with my epilepsy medications (Lamotrigine, Vimpat). Good stuff, man."
