Zantac and medication

Oops. Side effects I'm having are depression, shortness of breath and extreme fatigue.

mY 11 year old son has a history of reflux, which he had taken Prevacid for in the past. He broke his arm and is taking NSAIDS, flaring up the reflux. Company's new insurance plan requires we have documented 2 week trial of zantac prior to approving Prevacid for use. He has been on Zantac now for four days and has had increasingly frequent watery diarrhea, stomach discomfort, nausea, difficulty sleeping, and loss of appetite. This is an unacceptable side effect profile for a medication for a child. Per the insurance company, he has to suffer with this for two weeks in order to get a medicine that we know works approved for payment. Insane. I will be taking him off Zantac as he is worse now than when he started taking it.

I have a 9 month old baby. At the age of 2 weeks he started having a lot of stomach problems which included constipation, colics, vomiting, blooding. After several medical examination it was found he had acid reflux and allergic to regular baby formula. He was placed a special formula called Nutramigen. At the age of 5 months we have noticed him to be very hyper, won't sleep much even during the night. During the day he might sleep twice a day (app. 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.) for maybe 45 minutes at the most. He wakes up twice a night when before he was sleeping for almost over 8 hours. Like I said this happened at 5 months old. He is on Zantac twice a day. Could this medication be affecting him in this manner. He at times looks quite tired, stays still for a little while and it seems like he recharges and gets more energy. This is also taking a toll on me as I don't get too much rest and the interrupted sleep at night is affecting me. Please let me know anything that you can on this situation or who or where you can refer me to for more research. I feel something is going on with this medication.

Outrageous anxiety! I feel like I'm crawling out of my skin and I didn't start feeling like this until I started taking the Zantac. My hands shake and I wake up having an anxiety or panic attack. This medication in not worth all this! I think I'll stick with the good ol' Pepto Bismol and Maalox!

I have a problem taking esophagus medication so now I was put on Zantac and I am now having the same problem. I get foam and bubbles in my urine...which is affecting my kidneys. I went thru this last year with Nexeum, the purple pill. Now I am really worried as to what I can take as there is not much left or is there???
