"I had never had any pain or issues with my stomach, and I ate and continue to eat spicy and hot foods. I was put on this medication after my doctor saw a small spot in my stomach. I started the medicine at the end of February. I took it until March 7, when I had a jet ski accident that broke my femur and gave me a basilar skull fracture. I spent 8 days in the hospital (5 in ICU), then 4 weeks in rehab. I restarted the medicine the 2nd week of April. I see my doctor again next February, and there are enough refills to last until then. Last week, my gynecologist told me my B-12 and iron were extremely low. I have to take 4 iron infusions and monthly B12 shots at his office. I am trying to decide if I should stop this medication before anything else happens. I have always been extremely healthy, and I am sure this medication caused this. If I had no pain and was able to eat whatever I wanted with no problems, why would I keep taking this drug for another 7 months?"

"My doctor prescribed Trustan 40 mg after I swallowed the camera, but it was too expensive. Pantoprazole helped me a lot with my stomach ulcers. But I have to stay close to the toilet. I do not experience headaches more than usual."
