    Was given this generic medication instead of name brand protonix. It is not effective at all for my symptoms! After a weeks use all my symptoms are back! Burning pain. Would leave no stars but would not let me. I have used protonix for last 5 years with no symptoms!

    I see that it is recommneded to stop taking this drug after 8 weeks unless otherwise directed. I have been taking this for almost 6 months - once a day. I am now experiencing some of the side effects mentioned,especially the diaherra and muscle aches. I am going to stop using for a few weeks and see if it eases these side effects.

    I took Prilosec for years and my doc suggested this and it works far far better. Wish I had started it 10 years ago.
