I am 49 y/o and have suffered w/ this problem for 30 yrs. Aciphex is the ONLY drug that has worked for me. Very expensive. My insurance co. has just raised my deductible, but there isn't anything close to this product. I love it and have suggested to friends to talk to thier doctor about getting them on Aciphex also.

I have suffered from gerd for as long as I can remember. My doctor put me on Aciphex and this drug caused nothing but problems. It only helped my reflux a little bit. But the copay was expensive and it gave me side effects. I was nautious and had a very bad headache. Published: November 08, 2007 ::

has anyone had irregular heart beats/palpitations and high blood pressure due to aciphex? Published: March 05, 2008 ::

I have been using this medication for several years now and have discovered this is the only treatment that has not had any of the side effects common with other treatments: No diarrhea, no sudden urges to go to the bathroom, etc. One comment that should be mentioned, though: Skipping or ending treatment with this medication has brought the reflux back with a vengeance. I am resigned to the fact that this will be a life-long treatment, but as log as it continues to work as well as it does, I will continue taking it. Published: March 04, 2008 ::

This drug was used as a replacement for Nexium. I had used Nexium for 4+ years and had a persisitant cough. Finally relief, no more cough, no side effects. Published: January 18, 2009 ::

I have used Zantac 150, Pepto Bismol, Pepcid AC, Tums and Alka-Seltzer. Sometimes in the same day. Yet the symptoms still return. Aciphex cures it for me. I just wish is wasnt so expensive. Published: October 10, 2007 ::

I did not realize until my Medco moved me to Nexium, that the violent vomiting and stomach pain I would have if I overate was actually caused by Aciphex. It all disappeared after they changed me to Nexium. Published: September 23, 2007 ::

Began having a very stiff neck and shoulders about a week after taking it. Had "flu-like symptoms, but without fever. Two days after stopping the med. all of the other symptoms disappeared. Anyone else have these kinds of side-effects. Published: April 22, 2008 ::

I have a hiatal hernia and acid reflux, I've used this for over a year until my insurance changed and my new insurance pays but my copay is alot higher. I tried OTC prilosec but that raised my blood pressure, so I totally went off meds for 3 weeks. I ended up in the ER and since then have gotten back on Aciphex, my new Dr gave me an Instant savings card which pays half of my copay. My suggestion is to ask your Dr's for these cards. I hope this medication goes down in price. Published: March 27, 2009 ::

When first diagnosed with acid reflux about six years ago, I was given aciphex. My insurance company wanted to switch me to nexium because of cost. I flatly said no and they complied. I was taking one per day with no problems. Moved and a new GI doc gave me a Nexium sample for two weeks; after one week I was having gurd problems so I went back to Aciphex. I was increased to two times a day by a new primary care physician. I just had an endoscopy and results showed no acid reflux, no stomach ulcer, only gastritis. So, I feel it has worked well for me. Acid reflux was bad before I started on the medication. I have no reflux problems unless I take myself off the medication and then it returns. I can skip a few days with no problems, but I would not suggest taking yourself off this for any length of time. Published: May 18, 2008 ::
