Works well for my GERD and only need to take it every 24 hours not like Other PPIs where I was taking twice a day. I’ve had horrible diarrhea so bad that I’m now suffering from hemorrhoids. So I’m am no longer taking this medication- side effects are not worth the pain in my rear.

I will be in charge of my own body...I have gained 10 pounds, I guess cause the food I eat is still sitting in my system turning into FAT. I am going back to generic Nexium since my insurance does not want to cover it I rate this medicine with a 0 rating.

Ihave been taking dexilant 60 mg for 8 months. I have noticed the dizziness or light headed symptom. But in the 8 months over gained 22 lbs. My theory is that the dexilant is turning off to much stomach acid and is causing food to sit inside longer and digest slower.

This medicine is awesome! Expensive but it works! I havenâ??t experienced all of the side effects mentioned except for 1-very hungry at night. Iâ??d rather experience that than the other symptoms I had before taking it. I had a really bad, chronic cough for months, nothing worked. I had an endoscopy

I have been off it about 4 days and still have symptoms and hopefully they go away! I have had the pain under my ribs and at night my lower abdomen feels like itâ??s burning! I know all this sounds crazy but now I KNOW it is the medicine! Going to do homeopathic remedies and see if I can control it!
