Well all,

I started back on my Aciphex again, because I was starting to get so much water brash, I guess from the extra acid in my stomach. I'm not real big on medications, but I did notice that it almost immediately seemed to dry up my mouth, which was such a relief. I felt a little, though, as if I needed to actually drink more water after taking it. I also stopped the belching, although my belching hadn't been horrible lately. I did seem to feel a little bit of nervousness about 2 - 2 1/2 hrs. after taking it, but I feel calmer again. Has anyone else experienced a little bit of nervousness after taking it? I know it can be a side effect, but probably a very rare one.

I hate being on medication, but I also know that it's dangerous to let it go - can turn into Barrett's Esophagus if untreated.

Anyone find that lots of yogurt helps them out? I'm trying hard to also lose weight, because I know that being overweight does not help my condition any.

A friend of mine took Aciphex and the only problem he had was his blood pressure was higher. After he stopped the drug, the blood pressure is normal again after 2 weeks. I don't think it will happen to everybody but this is listed under one of the side effects.
