I was taking this medecine for 7 days. On my 5th day, I experienced an episode of confusion which then led me to have a panic attack. Uncertain of what caused this, i continued taking the medicine, until I realized that my level of confusion was more apparent, I became sensitive to noise, I felt extremely anxious (enough to go and visit my family doctor) - got prescribed medicine for my anxiousness (which I have never had before), and now Iâ??m 4 days off of it, and still feel anxious, exhausted, brain fog, confused, memory is not the best, and I got a cold two days after stopping dexilant. Never has this happened to me from taking a medicine. I would not recommend this to anyone - the side effects are horrible and not worth going through. Our mental health is scared and fragile, and this is just not worth it.

This medication worked great for the acid. However, after taking it for a few months, I started having severe upper abdominal pain, under my right ribs. I thought it was my gallbladder. They did an ultrasound which was normal. I got off the Dexilant thinking that this could be the cause and almost immediately my symptoms resided. Now, I only take it when I most feel acid and use it as sparing ... Show Full Comment

Now, I only take it when I most feel acid and use it as sparingly as possible or note at all.

My PCP made the assumption it was stress and anxiety when in fact it was the dexilant. I wanted to write this review so that when others are experiencing these same symptoms it may be this drug. I stopped taking it and now have no symptoms!

I was taking Tums 4-5 nights per week at bedtime. Been on this for about 3 weeks. Not one single Tums or experience of any acid reflux since I started this medication.
