Yes, I have had to take pantoprazole to control the excess acid and stomach discomfort and growling particularly overnight. Now I have stomach upset I think because of my tapering from 7.5 mg to 5 mg of prednisone. Also now feeling sluggish so assuming it is due to adrenal insufficiency or withdrawal. Hope it goes away soon!
