PPI use and side effects

Posted by mikejjb123 @mikejjb123, Sep 20, 2022

My doctor told me to take dexlansoprazole in the morning for chronic nausea when nothing else worked. Well, not so nauseas as before, but now have a bad acid taste in mouth all day long. Not seeing dr for another month. Any ideas or suggestions. Was taking pepcid twice a day but now only at night. Thanks.

I’m a double red blood donor and my iron is always good before donating.

Anybody taking this medication and experiencing side effects: INSOMNIA, depression, joint pain, ANXIETY, tingling nerves, dry mouth, fatique, excessive urination, heart pressure or palpatations, scatchy throat, etc, etc,. This is a nightmare!! What side effects are you experiencing and how do you handle it?????

Somewhat. But side effects subside over time. I have been thinking of having nissen fundoplication or linx procedure for GERD and hiatal hernia.

I take 40mg 1/2 hr before supper and the only side effect I get is muscle cramps in my calf of the leg. I've been on it for about 5 years. I get scoped this year so I hope I have no issues.

Well, there’s hope then they keep changing my PPI but I think I’ve got a stick to this one despite the side effects. If something doesn’t work, I’m gonna have to consider the surgery and I am not eager to do so. 🙂

What surgery are you referring to? I had Covid Jan 2022. Recently been told I might have splanchnic modui. I can’t find a lot on this anyone dealing with the same thing??

No, sorry , I never heard of that. What are your symptoms? I was referring to surgery called fundoplication… in a support group , I hear ( mostly, but not only) bad news about successful cases of this surgery. I would love to know if there is unbiased data on the success rate and how common complications are… especially in populations over 65.. but at some point I may have to decide on the best surgeon & go forward. Mayo ( at least in one location) is not even taking names for a waiting list.
