Good Morning Tina;

I was on REV for quite a while and experienced no stomach problems.

I took mine approx. 6:00 p.m. More for the sleepiness than anything else. You should take it with meals.

Take care;

Kevin

Whenever I was on Revlimid and or Dex my doctor always had me taking or Protonix @ 40mg daily. I had acid problems anyway but worse on on Rev and Dex.

All the best

Mike

I've been on Rev since December. They recommended that I take Nexium to prevent ulcers while I am on it.  The only problem I get is occasional "queasy" or "acidy" stomach, and sometimes food doesn't always taste right, but other than that, it's been a great drug! Good luck in your continued treatment.
