Side Effects
After taking Aciphex for a few years, as prescribed by my doctor, I now have Iron Deficient Anemia. I have been dealing with fatigue and extremely low energy for years now. Every week I have to go for Iron Infusion treatments. I can no longer absorb iron and I wonder what else I can't absorb now. I have no energy and I fall asleep very easily. I am only 46! I am not able to do the thing I did before.

Additional Thoughts
Don't take it!

Reason: severe acid reflux Date: 1 June 2007
Side Effects
tight feeling in the throat, extreme full feeling, and nausea after not eating much, anxiety due to the tightness in my throat.

Additional Thoughts
I took Nexium for one week and ended up throwing up constantly. I always felt drunk (probably due to dehydration) My stomach was bloated and painful with pressure. I had tried Aciphex before and it got the job done, but I wasn't taking it every day. Recently my acid reflux is so bad that I am taking Acephex twice a day every day. The side effects aren't that bad, but I am meeting with my gastroenterologist on Monday so I'll see what he says.

Additional Thoughts
Before taking this medication, I was feeling how most of theswe patients felt with bloating, nausea, cramping, interrupted sleep...but now, I feel so much better. There is still some gasiness, but nothing compared to before this medication. Taken 2 years for 8 weeks each time. Excellent for quick fixes!

Side Effects
extreme chest tightness, feeling of lump in throat, gagging, gas, feeling like you need to burp but cannot, waking up in the night, anxiety, shortness of breath

Additional Thoughts
For the past week, I have been feeling extreme tightness in my throat and chest... and feeling like I need to burp all the time. The tightness in my throat is so bad it makes me feel like I'm constantly gagging. I also have had trouble breathing, felt like I could never get in a deep breath of air. All this has been causing major anxiety, and so I took an anxiety pill, which if it was really anxiety would make me feel so much better but it hasn't. So I started surfing the web and found the site. It's really weird b/c I just started taking Aciphex like 2 weeks ago and would have never thought that the way I am feeling is due to all that... I am not going to take Aciphex for the rest of the week and will see what happens. I just hope that all these symptoms go away and that they are due to side effects of the medication because I have been worried something is really wrong with me. I'm only 22, and have been feeling extreme nervousness and restlessness. Both my mother and granmother take
