For GERD "I don't even know where to start. I have never felt more miserable on a drug in my life. Before taking it, I had suddenly been losing a ton of weight and having issues sleeping at night due to waking up cold, shaky, and ill-feeling. An urgent care doctor mentioned that I probably have gastritis, and this was given to me. I am currently about three days in, and I can't do it anymore. This morning, after taking my morning dose, I found myself almost immediately hit with incredible weakness, nausea, headache, and what must be a panic attack. It's horrible. This drug makes me feel like I'm going to fall asleep, but the second I close my eyes, it feels like I'm on a roller coaster and I start having unpleasant sounds and visions go through my head. I have actually found myself practically unable to eat most of the time while taking this, even less than I was previously able to without it."

For Gastric Ulcer Maintenance Treatment "After horrible pain on a number of separate occasions that would go on for hours, leaving me exhausted and ill, vomiting, and feeling nauseous and debilitated. Just one of these tablets stopped the pain completely within 20 minutes, unbelievable!"

For GERD "I’ve been dealing with chronic nausea and vomiting for almost 20 years. It took 2 years to be diagnosed with GERD because it started out sporadic and kept getting diagnosed as gastritis. Finally started a PPI, and life returned to normal. But after a few years, the Rx itself stopped working. So I’d switch to a different brand. Now, as a SAHM (stay-at-home mother) with 2 small children, my current relapse left me useless and depressed since it’s my youngest son’s birthday. Antiemetics weren’t even helping anymore. But the on-call Dr recommended Zantac, and I almost instantly felt better! It hasn’t been a full 24 hours yet, so only time will tell if it keeps on working. But right now, I’m so happy and grateful to be feeling myself again and able to enjoy my boy’s birthday!"

For Erosive Esophagitis "When I tell you that this little pill or Zantac liquid works WONDERS!!!! I've had the worst nauseous feeling, bad diarrhea for the last five days. As soon as I took this pill, it just sat there, burning the food, holding it down. Ahh man, I'm so happy now, relief of pain, but also with a better diet, it's way better."

For GERD "This is my first time taking it after some terrible acid reflux. The first one I took, I ended up throwing it back up 45 minutes later, and the second one later that evening took me into a spiral of pain."

For Pathological Hypersecretory Conditions "I wake with a squeezing sensation that develops into nausea every morning around 4:30. I get up, take a half of a 150, Zantac, and half an anti-motion sickness pill and have a large mug of tea with milk. I lie there awake for nearly 2 hours until I fall back to sleep. When I wake again around 8:00, I have a bowl, 6, of Frosted Mini Wheats and some half and half. I try to go back to sleep again and wake at varying times, or I don't get back to sleep at all. The pain and nausea start up again early afternoon, so I take the other half of a Zantac. I am in bed off and on till suppertime. Sometimes I have to take another half and a half anti-motion sickness pill in the evening. This is my usual day."

For GERD "Used to work well for my acid reflux, but recently started making me nauseous, to the point I feel like I'm going to throw up. Tried Zantac 75 and had the same result."
