Wonderful medication-stopped heartburn-no side effects-on Aciphex for 2 years. Felt great. My new insurance company will not pay for Aciphex (too expensive) and I'm on Omeprazole (16 days) it’s much cheaper than Aciphex. Omeprazole is a dreadful medication, the side effects are terrible: Constipation, bloating, overeating (hungry all the time), weight gain, headache, back ache, pain upper rib ... Show Full Comment

Omeprazole is a dreadful medication, the side effects are terrible: Constipation, bloating, overeating (hungry all the time), weight gain, headache, back ache, pain upper rib cage, gas, burping, problems sleeping, and on top of all that I still have heart burn. :(

I have used Aciphex for over 2 years now after having had a scope done to re-enlarge my esophagus from GERD making it slowly close over many years. I have tried every OTC out there and nothing works as well if at all like this Med.

I have used Aciphex for over 2 years now after having had a scope done to re-enlarge my esophagus from GERD making it slowly close over many years. I have tried every OTC out there and nothing works as well if at all like this Med. Besides my co-pay doubling this year, which is hard to take, this medicine seems to be the only one that relieves all my symptoms. Chest and stomach pains which feel like extreme cramps, heartburn, difficulty swallowing and being unable to eat because of it. I have been fortunate in having no side effects or at least I have not noticed any. I am extremely satisfied with Aciphex and if a generic becomes available that works as well, I will be thrilled to pay less money if I get these same results.

This is the only medication that has really helped my GERD and suspected ulcer symptoms. Despite the high cost and the side effects (which I also have)I am using it until I can get in for a scope (in 2 months)MY PHARMACIST SAYS IT COMES OUT IN GENERIC FORM IN oCTOBER 2010.

I was on Aciphex for about a week, but it only took two days for the side effects to start. Insomnia. Difficulty breathing. I'm an athlete, but I was getting winded going up steps. Dizziness and light-headedness. No energy. I felt like someone had beaten me. Very sore all over, muscle pain, joint pain. I switched back to Omeprazole, and a day and a half later, all my symptoms are gone. I'm ... Show Full Comment

I was on Aciphex for about a week, but it only took two days for the side effects to start. Insomnia. Difficulty breathing. I'm an athlete, but I was getting winded going up steps. Dizziness and light-headedness. No energy. I felt like someone had beaten me. Very sore all over, muscle pain, joint pain. I switched back to Omeprazole, and a day and a half later, all my symptoms are gone. I'm sure it works for some people, but it didn't work for me. If you're having any of these symptoms, I'd stop the meds or talk to your doctor. I guess it can be really serious if yo stay on it.
