For GERD "I have both IBS and Gastritis. Protonix has been a complete game changer for me. Without it, I have chronic nausea, difficulties tolerating food, vomiting, low energy, and headache. My days were very difficult prior to being prescribed this med. I feel incredibly better."

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 was put on this medication after my insurance company stopped covering another PPI that worked well for me. I lasted one month and spent most of it popping ranitidine since anything I ate or drank caused almost immediate heartburn. By the end of the month, I was vomiting. It was awful. I hated to be a pain, but I called my PCP and told them I needed to go back on my previous med, which, of course, involved a lot of paperwork on his part. I have a friend that swears by this medication, but mostly all I did was swear during the month I took it."
