For GERD "This medicine has given me the blues. I'm sleepy, dizzy, my vertigo is slightly active, I'm having heart palpitations in my sleep and anxiety throughout the day. I already suffered from anxiety but the fact that the meds cause you to have insomnia, that's not good for me. Needless to say, I'm not taking any more pills because every time I do, I feel terrible. I just want this out of my system!"

For Stomach Ulcer "This caused extreme anxiety and depression. I had my mental health issues completely controlled over the past several years until I took this medication. I was confused as to how a stomach acid medication would cause me to spiral into that deep, dark place that I crawled out of years ago. The insomnia, shaking (more like a mild whole body tingle or vibration), the suicide idealization. Please, if you have any issues with depression or anxiety, past or present, let your doctor know before taking this medication. It does not affect everyone the same."

For GERD "After 2 esophagus surgeries using the Nissan method, I am much better. Stress was and is my main problem. Then comes not being able to eat hardly anything. I take prescription Prilosec twice a day, watch my diet... very hard, and exercise, stretch, walk. I was in the ER last night and sent home with Carafate. If anyone has taken potassium pills, they suck big time. I was told to make a slurry. Add it to a small amount of water and take in one swallow. Works like a charm!"
