For GERD "This was not effective in reducing acid. Four days after stopping Nexium and starting Protonix the heartburn started and I had to take Gaviscon. I had a 3-month supply, so I kept taking it and ended up with a swollen, painful esophagus and difficulty swallowing with vomiting. I stopped taking Nexium because my insurance no longer would cover it."

For GERD "I have had severe GERD/acid reflux for nearly 6 years. It has put me in the hospital 7 times now and has totally destroyed my teeth, which I have always been meticulous about caring for. Presently, it's also causing me swallowing problems and voice troubles. The pain the GERD can generate is an actual true '10'-far, far worse than the pain I experienced from a quad cardiac bypass surgery. My doctor gave me Protonix for it, and it worked very well on reducing, perhaps, 80% of the pain. Unfortunately, the medication caused peripheral edema big time, and I had to go off of it again. The edema immediately went away, but the pain came back too. I have noticed this reaction from almost all proton pumps that I have tried to date."

For Duodenal Ulcer "This medication helped my reflux and my stomach pain, but after 3 weeks, my extremities started swelling. Will call my physician for a different med."
