How safe is Famotidine 40 mg ?

I was on protonix for 18 days for acid reflux and quit cold turkey as it was making me feel awful.
My doctor put me on 40 mg of famotidine twice daily and carafate 4 times a day to manage the acid rebound.
It's been 18 days now and the rebound is almost over.
This combo is working well for me. I've already started to cut back on the carafate and expect to stop it completely in one or two weeks.

Famotadine is safe! I’ve been on it for a long time for different health issues. It works well. Have never had side effects with it. Have been able to go on and off of it it for years. No withdrawal or rebound heartburn which is awesome

Hi, @malooga - Sorry to hear you felt awful while on the pantoprazole (Protonix).
You are saying you experienced rebound acid hypersecretion? If so, what symptoms did you experience with that? Does your doctor have any suggestions for tapering off the sucralfate (Carafte)?
