Pantoprazole and Lorazepam discontinuation help

Posted by sunflower1956 @sunflower1956, Mar 17, 2023

Has anyone tried to taper pantoprazole while also tapering from lorazepam? I am afraid they are causing a problem being on both.

Oh my goodness I’m sorry the Metamucil did that to you.
Wow I wonder what in the world was in the Miralax that caused such a reaction!!! I know that had to be so scary.
Did you have bowel problems before benzos? They can cause these issues. Have you tried a stool softener? I have a friend that has to take one everyday.

I’ve been taking benzos for so many years and had stomach problems for so many years, I’m not sure which was first. If they are responsible for the damage, I wonder if stopping them will make it go away? My gut issues now affect my mood, my appetite, and my sleep to name a few. No one has ever mentioned their relation to medication. Starting to see just how little use some doctors are. Very sad. I have tried stool softeners with no help. I’m at the point where I have a gurgling stomach from what I’ve taken to help or from the daily pain. It’s kind of there no matter what.

Constipation is a common side affect of benzos. I have read a lot about the negative affects benzos can cause. Doctors don't want to accept the fact that benzos are really bad and can cause so many issues. There are hundreds of symptoms from benzos. The consensus is if you develop the symptom while taking benzos it will go away after you no longer take it. It may go away quickly or take a little time but it will go away. I have read many success stories. When I first figured out that benzos were causing my problems I started searching for any info I could find. The Ashton Manual is awesome! You can find it online and download it for free. It explains so much about the affects of benzos, it was written by Dr. Heather Ashton. Dr. Ashton ran a clinic in the UK that specialized in helping people break free from benzos. Sorry I am rambling but I hate benzos! They cause so many problems that people don't have a clue what is happening to them and doctors are NO help. Here are names of some people and doctors who have been terribly affected by benzos and are now recovered.

There are many more it is a real problem not only in our country but the world and doctors are ignorant to it.
I get so frustrated sometimes because I did not need benzos but I did not know what was happening to me at the time.
I am so sorry you are suffering it could very well be from benzos. People have undergone test after test and nothing is found wrong because it is the benzos that is causing the problem.
I will hush I have rambled enough. I just hope that you get rid of the benzos and start feeling a lot better.

Oh one more thing. Supplements can very often cause issues when also taking benzos.

You have not rambled at all! You have actually given me the only hope I’ve had for a very long time that something is not horribly wrong with my stomach. I really hope I can ditch these things and start to get better. Thank you so much for your encouragement! I appreciate it more than you know! Good luck to you as well!
