Zantac 150 (ranitidine) for GERD: “I get heartburn and acid reflux so bad it feels like I canât breathe. This is the only medicine that works for me. I get relief in about 30 minutes. I have been taking this medicine frequently for the last 15 years with none of the side effects others have described. I do not go anywhere without this medicine – no exaggeration – I have a bottle in my car, my purse, my desk at work, my bathroom, and kitchen. It is a lifesaver for me.”

Zantac 150 (ranitidine) for GERD: “I don’t even know where to start. I have never felt more miserable on a drug in my life. Before taking it, I had suddenly been losing a ton of weight and having issues sleeping at night due to waking up cold, shaky, and ill-feeling. An urgent care doctor mentioned that I probably have gastritis and this was given to me. I am currently about three days in and I can’t do it anymore. This morning, after taking my morning dose, I found myself almost immediately hit with incredible weakness, nausea, headache, and what must be a panic attack. It’s horrible. This drug makes me feel like I’m going to fall asleep, but the second I close my eyes it feels like I’m on a roller coaster and start having unpleasant sounds and visions go through my head. I have actually found myself practically unable to eat most of the time while taking this, even less than I was previously able to without it.”

Zantac 150 (ranitidine) for GERD: “Ever since I put on weight, Iâve been experiencing occasional reflux (about once a week). I never knew how painful reflux could be. Another symptom Iâve been having is regurgitation and belching. At times, Iâll wake up coughing because Iâm choking on regurgitate. Itâs scary and leaves my esophagus and throat burning. ZANTAC is my go-to. It works every time. Tonight I had reflux and I felt it dissipate within 5 minutes of taking the Zantac tablet. The pain was completely gone in 10 minutes. Iâve also started sleeping with my head up about 30 degrees and that helps too.”

For GERD: “I have had severe pain in my ears and behind left eye for 10 + yrs now. I’ve seen my family Dr and 2 ear specialists. Nothing can be explained or found wrong. In 2016, I was diagnosed with GERD. The med made me sicker. Then was told to rake ranitidine. At first it was hard , one pill every 12 hrs. So careful of food intake day and night. Then after 6 months of ranitidine , I noticed I haven’t had any ear pain or eye pain. I now take ranitidine about every 18 hrs and notice the ear and eye pain creeping up. Though ranitidine does help immensely, it’s the ear pain or lack of that ranitidine has cured. Who knew ****”
