I HAVE BEEN ON PRILOSEC OTC FOR ABOUT A MONTH AFTER MY ENT PRESCRIBED IT TO ME. I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING (MOSTLY ASSOCIATED WITH MY RIGHT SIDE OF THROAT) AND MY DOCTOR FELT IT WAS DUE TO REFLUX. AFTER NOT EXPERIENCING ANY RELIEF AFTER THREE WEEKS, HE DOUBLED MY DOSAGE. I AM NOW HAVING SEVERE CHEST PAINS, TIGHTENING OF MY CHEST, SWALLOWING IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN EVER, AND SEVERE ANXIETY. I AM GOING BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS TO MY DOCTOR. BY THE WAY, I AM ONLY 32 YEARS OLD AND WEIGH 110 LBS. I HAVE BEEN CAREFUL WITH MY DIET. IS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS LIVING NIGHTMARE?

Yes, I was only on it for three doses- over the counter-- and I am still feeling crummy two days after getting off of it. Sharp chest pains and even sub-sternum level/abdominal pains. Burning! Severe anxiety with crying and worry!! Felt like I was going to die. Faint, like my head was detached form my body, ringing in my ears, leg weakness, etc.. Have YOUR side effects gone away by now chele? I'm still feeling a tightness in the throat and chest...
