@sablegirl From what I have read, there seems to be an increased risk for some patients for depression and anxiety.

What are your thoughts on trying what Harvard Health has to say?

Thank you for the links Ginger. I know FOR SURE that it causes depression. I get anxiety and depression from the H2 but it's manageable because it doesn't cut all the acid to my stomach. I promise you I already do everything that Harvard Health listed. My stomach just needs more time to heal I guess. I was doing pepcid for 2 weeks and thought I was good so I weaned off but it was too soon. Now I will stay on it much longer and wean off much slower. There is no way I will touch a ppi again.
