"I have been taking Lansoprazole 15 mg for more than a year now because I was getting a lot of acid reflux, which was causing awful stomach pains and vomiting, which would go on all through the night and made me lose a lot of weight too. I went to the emergency room and had loads of different tests to see why this was happening, and they said I had a case of hiatal hernia. Well, since I have been taking it, it has gotten better, but I have been getting a lot of flare-ups, stomach pains/vomiting on odd days again!! So feeling fed up with it all, to be honest, and it's wearing me down... wondering if anybody else has been like me, is 15 mg enough? Do you think I should have a higher dosage? I'm too frightened to eat anything, and if I do eat, I am always thinking, will I be poorly in a few hours!!"

"Been on Lansoprazole for three years, stopped the acid reflux but gives me major joint pain, dry eyes at night, and bloating. GP not interested as he just wants to up medication. My other worry is the calcium deficiency it apparently causes, which I can't get them to answer. Why not surgery? Because it costs money, I assume it's cheaper to throw tablets across a table."

"I've been on lansoprazole for 5 months, been diagnosed with hiatal hernia, a sliding one, very small, and acid reflux. But got very bad side effects: dizziness, tingling feeling all over body. Went back to docs, they reduced my dosage from 30 mg to 15 mg. The side effects were going away, but having flare-ups, so decided to go back to 30 mg just to see doc, but side effects are coming back. At the end of my tether, doc says they're going to try me on ranitidine. Anyone tried that?"

"Have been using lansoprazole 30 mg for between 2 to 3 years. 1 each morning. If skipped, acid reflux would start towards evening. No side effects. 100% satisfied. Something to do with stock unavailable, so I have now been prescribed pantoprazole 20 mg. Hope that works as well as lansoprazole."

"I've been taking one 15 mg tablet every day for approximately 4 years now. I take my tablet in the afternoon. It has worked well, and I only get joint pain on some days. No side effects. Reflux has gone, and I have no problems with swallowing. The only problems I do get are tightening of the chest every now and then."

"Been on Prevacid 30 mg for hiatal hernia for 27 years and no side effects at all. Doctor told me I would be on it for life...he was right."

"Helped a lot with GERD from hiatal hernia. I'm only getting acid in my throat once a week or two weeks. Definitely recommend. I don't have any side effects from it."
