Life-Changing or Side Effect Nightmare? My Journey with Dexlansoprazole 30mg DR Capsules
I've been taking Dexlansoprazole 30mg DR Capsules for about three months now to manage my acid reflux. The medication has been a game-changer, reducing my symptoms significantly. However, I've recently experienced some side effects like nausea and headaches. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I know severe side effects are rare, but I'm curious to hear others' stories. How long does it typically take for side effects to subside, or should I be concerned? Also, are there any alternative medications that people have found helpful?.
I experienced severe skin reactions from this drug. It was terrifying, and I had to stop taking it immediately. If you notice any rash or blistering, don't wait to see your doctor.
This medication saved me from constant heartburn, but I did get diarrhea for a couple of weeks. The doctor said it was probably just my body adjusting to it. Stick it out for a bit, but if it gets worse or doesn’t go away then you should consult your physician.
The bone pain was my breaking point. I had to stop taking this medication. I'm now on a different one, and I feel so much better. Don't ignore those symptoms if they pop up.
I've had good experiences with Omprezole. It works well too and I don't get the same side effects. Might be worth talking to your doctor about switching.
I have lupus and my doctor was very cautious about prescribing Dexlansoprazole. She warned me about the increased risk of flare-ups, but so far, I've been lucky. Just be vigilant about any new symptoms.
I had a friend who took Dexlansoprazole and ended up with electrolyte imbalances. He had seizures and was hospitalized. I've quit medications with questionable side effects. But I know that Dexlansoprazole has helped many too.
Anyone else feel like they have a chronic cold while on this medication? My nose and throat have been irritated for weeks. I can't tell any difference between this and COVID.
