I started on the Acphex a couple of weeks ago and have experienced itching or prickling sensation all over my body especially my scalp and legs, on the legs I have a rash that started on the calves and is now working its way up to my thighs and buttocks the rash started out as red bumps but it dry's up and starts flaking off it looks horrible and is getting worse by the day. I am going to stop taking it to see if the symptoms clear up. Also some constipation and my athsma symptoms seem worse.

I took it 2 days and developed pins and needles in my arms and legs. The medical term is pareshesia, which is listed as one of the many possible side effects of aciphex. I stopped taking it to see if it goes away. I hope so, because that could be a first symptom of MS.

How long did it take for your symptoms to go away? I still have pins and needles and last took it 3 1/2 days ago.
