For GERD "The medication helped immensely when it came to getting rid of the conditions I was feeling due to GERD, such as chest pains/discomfort; however, it didn't take long to notice the side effects of the medication. The medication caused a lot of gas when eating most anything, my blood flow was very off as my heart rate didn't increase during any physical activity, I barely had any energy, had bursts of both anxiety and depressive episodes, a form of temporary ED, and this was all only approximately 3-4 days after taking the medication. I had spoken to the doctor regarding all of this, but they had explained to me that it wasn't possible that any of these symptoms were caused by the medication, especially in such a short amount of time. Though looking here, it seems some of these symptoms are quite common even on short term. Despite this, I stopped the medication on approximately the sixth day. My GERD symptoms stopped immediately, and the side effects disappeared several days after."

For GERD "I was diagnosed with acute gastritis. I only wanted something to feel less bloated and gassy at night, but my doctor asked me to take pantoprazole for 10 days, twice a day. After 4 days of using, my heart started beating fast for no reason in the middle of the night. That brought me panic attacks, thinking it’s related to a heart issue. Head feels heavy and feels like something is crawling on the forehead. Besides, I guess it only helps to relieve ulcer pain in the stomach. Did almost nothing for bloatedness. In fact, it made me more gassy at night. I’m gonna stop using it. It gave me more clarity on the side effects after reading up all the reviews here. Avoid using this pill. It’s a nightmare worse than what the diagnosis is."

For Gastritis/Duodenitis "Took for one day, extreme bloating, bad gas, dizzy, just felt like something wasn't right. Terrible, terrible medication."
