"Horrible medication. A pulmonologist ordered this because he suspected reflux, and it made me feel fatigued and bloated, made me retain so much water, as well as caused anxiety and depression. I took it for three weeks, and my symptoms got worse. Within three days of stopping, all of these adverse side effects went away. Will not be using this again."

"Took one pantoprazole pill, within 20 minutes, had severe pain in left armpit, about 9.5 out of 10 on the pain scale. Was out in the bush, out of telephone range. Had to just lay and suffer. After about 2 hours, pain began to subside. By morning, it was just a dull ache. Never again will I take that medication."

"I was given pantoprazole for silent reflux. I took 40 mg in the AM. After 5 weeks, I developed a horrible cough with white mucus. I was fatigued and dizzy, passed out. Requesting blood work discovered my kidneys were compromised. I have been off of it for 1 week, my kidneys have improved, and I’m feeling better, but still have a metallic taste, and my tongue is white. I wonder if I will ever feel better. I believe it’s a toxic drug for me."

"Was on pantoprazole 40 mg for 6 months, as per my pulmonologist, for silent reflux. My esophagus was torched when I started taking it. Has helped wonders on healing that, but I get terrible weekly stomach pains that could last hours or overnight even. Could never know when I would get the pain or what I ate that even caused it. Yesterday I did not take the pill. Could feel the acid in my chest slightly in the night. Feel like I can breathe better and have even been able to pass gas. That medicine is rubbish. Would bloat me so bad I even felt like my bladder was hanging late in the day. I did not know it was a short-term drug. I will go back to Prilosec till I see my Dr. for the follow-up appointment."
