Only two days on and I feel much better, but I am experiencing the diarrhea side effect. But it is better than regurgitating all my food and being perpetually nauseated.

In 1982, I was treated for a lymphoma and as a result of the radiation,I developed scar tissue in my esophagus. To compound my issue, I developed a worsening condition of ARD. After 4 esphogeal dilitations, my GI Dr, prescribed Previcid 30mg. At first a single dose worked, but after 5 years, I was taking twice a day to keep the acid under control. Like so many others here, my insurance carrier stopped covering these class of medications, PPI, and I had to become a guinea pig and run experiments on myself with all the acid reducers available via prescription. I had zero luck in finding a solution. I realized that spending well over $100/month was the cost of feeling normal, than so be it. I went back on Previcid 30 MG twice a day. This brings me to Dexilent. I made the move over to dexilent from Previcid because Previcid was becoming less affective at controlling my ARD and I needed a new solution dexilent had just come out and my Dr was given some samples so I got to try this extended relief mediation. It worked very well. I have been on the medication for close to 10 years. Side effects? I have had a heart attack, last year a pacemaker was placed in my chest to offset a skipped beat, and now, I am experiencing a heart valve issue, where I am light headed and dizzy with the slightest effort. Can I say these are all linked to Dexilent? No, but I am willing to step away from the medication for a month to see if I experience any recovery as mentioned by other reviewers. My first step before I do this, would be to talk with my GI Dr for his input. Wish me luck.

I have hiatus hernia with pain everyday. This medication did not help at all.
