My Dr. tells me I can stay on the Aciphex indefinetly, but data suggest this should be taken short term only. What's the scoop ? I have abd. pain a lot., but reflux better.

I have been taking Aciphex for several months, & found it gives me gas. Now I have morning indigestion belching, & upper chest discomfort. Have not been bothered with Reflux for a long time. It is planned I will stop taking this medication for awhile, & see what happens.

After taking Aciphex for several weeks, I began have alot of stomach problems, frequent BM's (6-7 times a day, ) lots of bloating and gas, nauseous, and general malaise. After going to see my MD, she said to stop the Aciphex. Within 3 days, all my symptoms subsided. No problems now since going off the Aciphex. Reflux has come back with a vengence. I will seek other options for dealing with GERD.

About three or four weeks into the aciphex, i started getting strange tingly almost numbness sensations in my arms, elbows, face, around the mouth/jaw, back of the head/scalp, sometimes it feels very "whole body"ish. It feels like i'm being pricked with something with electrical current and getting a shock. It's very strange and quite worrisome! Searching the net it sounds like this is a possible side effect of the aciphex. I hope that's all it is, but I will ask my doctor if there are any other possible causes we should rule out. At this point if it turns out to be a side effect and it doesn't go away (it's been 4 days now), I'm not sure if i'd decide to stay on the aciphex or try something different. It helps the reflux but doesn't solve it.
