Does anyone experience weird side-effects when taking Prevacid?

Talk to your doctor;  I have GERD, and I went thru several medications before my doctor settled on Zantac.  I had my worst reactions from the Prevacid; I got a really rapid heartbeat, and my blood pressure shot up.   Your doctor will recommend something else.

I don't take that type of bc but with every bc or medication you take there are possible side effects.. here is a list of side effects and information on the medication. \n\nNausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement may occur. Acne may improve or get worse. Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first few months of use. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. If you miss 2 periods in a row (or 1 period if the pill has not been used properly), contact your doctor for a pregnancy test.\n\nRemember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.\n\nTell your doctor immediately if any of these serious side effects occur: changes in vaginal bleeding (e.g., continuous spotting, sudden heavy bleeding, missed periods), problem wearing contact lenses, dark patches on the skin (melasma), unwanted facial/body hair, swelling of the ankles/feet, weight changes (gain or loss).\n\nThis medication may rarely cause serious (sometimes fatal) problems from blood clots (e.g., pulmonary embolism, stroke, heart attack). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience: sudden shortness of breath, chest/jaw/left arm pain, confusion, coughing up blood, sudden dizziness/fainting, pain/swelling/warmth in the groin/calf, tingling/weakness/numbness in the arms/legs, headaches that are different from those you may have experienced in the past (e.g., headaches with other symptoms such as vision changes/lack of coordination, existing migraines becoming worse, sudden/very severe headaches), slurred speech, weakness on one side of the body, vision problems/changes.\n\nTell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: lumps in the breast, severe stomach/abdominal/pelvic pain, mental/mood changes (e.g., depression, suicidal thoughts, persistent trouble sleeping), unusual tiredness, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin.\n\nA very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, trouble breathing.\n\nIf you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

A friend of mine was on Topamax and she experienced tingling in her hands and feet.  She also had a change in her taste.  Anything with artificial sweetners tasted very metallic to her and she couldn't stand the taste of anything alcoholic.  She also suffered from weight gain (about 25 lbs).  All of the symptoms went away when she stopped taking the med.

I was only on Prevacid for a short time frome (about 3 months), but I missed mine 2 out of the 3 months.  I would call the doctor though and see what they have to say.  You may also want to take a pregnancy test if there is any chance at all you may be missing it for that reason.  In that case they may put you on another med in its place (rantidine is what they put me on while I was pregnant).  Don't lose any sleep over it, but still call and have it checked out to put your mind at ease.  Good luck and take care!

As with any medication there are side affects and unfortuneately you have a side effect to Advair.  Talk to your doctor about your concerns and see what they have to say.  If they want you to continue to take the Advair but you feel that it may affect your voice let them know that you are not comfortable taking it and ask for other suggestions.  However, make sure that you are rinsing out your mouth and even try gargling with water after taking Advair.  If you don't rinse or not well then you have a good chance of getting thrush(a yeast infection) in your mouth and throat that is very painful and requires lots of antibiotics.  This could also lead to losing your voice.  But if you rinse well and you still have the side effect, then definately talk to your doctor about it and find a different approach.

I would check to make sure you are taking the same brand, same dosage as you have been taking.  Even a different manufacturer could process it a different way causing your new symptoms.  If everything is the same as before, I would think that you might be getting immune to it.  Ask your doctor about your symptoms and see if you can change to something similar.  Could you be taking it with anything else to conflict with it?  New diet or new pills?

I don't know if it does or not but you should type in Troprol in your google or yahoo search engine and you will be able to get the side effects. I wouldn't be surprised if it could be your medication but check what they say on the presription site. Then call your doctor and report that you are having indigestion so the doctor can put you on another medication. Hope you feel better soon.

i took it for like one or two days & had horrible side effects.  i got confused & forgot what i was doing in the middle of cooking dinner.  i also had horrible anxiety & restlessness.  i haven't heard any good feedback about it. i wouldn't recommend it.  however, everyone reacts differently to different meds.

One of the side effects to lipitor is muscle aches and pains.  Your doctor would be checking your blood frequently to be sure there is no muscle or body organ damage.\n\nI take mine at night, and by the next day the pain is over with.  Talk openly with your doctor about these concerns.
