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 "Am a young patient with GERD, had it since I was 15, and now I'm 20. This medicine also always makes me vomit, a few hours from taking it. The sensation can't be held back, it just forces you to vomit, even in the middle of the night when you wanted overnight relief. I was told to get GERD-relieving meds over the counter until the doctor prescribed famotidine, and it works wonders!"

For GERD "Has crazy heartburn and other stomach issues. I started to take Zantac 150 mg twice per day. It really helped a lot, but at times I eat some crap and get crazy reflux. But the meds work well."

For Duodenal Ulcer "I take Ranitidine (150 mg) twice a day, every day. Taking it usually helps calm my stomach down, but if I don't take another pill soon, the pain will come back unless I eat a small meal."
