I only take the 20mg once a day. I also take a multi- vitamin and magnesium and a B-complex.

Aspirin was my best friend for many years while I had significant headaches. Luckily, the headaches are gone for whatever reason. I also took low dose aspirin for many years until my cardiologist started me on Xarelto around the time of my ablution for Afib. I have been lethargic and heavy legged ever since. His reason for not switching back to low dose aspirin was always that Xarelto is better.
Studies are now showing no difference between the two for effectiveness. Also, “low dose” aspirin is chewable, side stepping the stomach issues and getting it directly and quickly into your bloodstream. The downside is that aspirin stays in your bloodstream a lot longer, so you would need to switch to Xarelto or something similar two weeks before a planned surgery and stop it shortly before the event. Emergency surgery is always a possibility, but informing/reminding the surgical team is important then and quality of life is equally important now. I’ve decided for quality of life and am finding a clearer head, less fatigue and lighter legs as I come out of the pall of drugs, regaining a joy in life that I thought I had to stop reaching for. I was also able to get amlodipine reduced by half.
Drugs can be very helpful, but sometimes there are trade offs. Each person has to make their own decisions. It was very empowering to realize that I can respectfully say “No thank you” in a doctor’s office. Little did I know that I was welcoming a new start in life.

Just in case the other reply didn't post. I take the 20mg omeprezole daily. I also take a multi vitamin, magnesium, Bcomplex and CoQ10.
