Losartan 12.5mg
I have been checking my list of medication to see if any is responsible for my peripheral neuropathy of the feet and legs. The most likely ones are Losartan 12.5mg per day and Lansoprazole ppi 30mg per day.
Does anyone take any of these and if so have you experienced any similar symptoms.

Anyone ever weaned off Lansoprazole 15mg morning and 15mg evening. Any advice welcome
Hi John @bigjohnscho, There is a discussion on Losartan in the Heart Rhythm Conditions group that some members have discussed the drug and might be helpful - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/losartan-1/. Here's a search of Connect for "weaning off of losartan" that shows a few member posts - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/comments/?search=weaning%20off%20of%20losartin.
I also found this warning about stopping Losartan:
"Stopping losartan
Do not stop taking losartan without talking with your doctor. Stopping it suddenly can cause blood pressure to increase quickly. This raises the risk of a heart attack or stroke. If you want to stop taking losartan, talk with your doctor. They will slowly taper the dosage so that you can stop using the drug safely."

Have you talked with your doctor on about your concerns?
When I left Mayo Methodist after surgery a year ago, I was advised to stop taking Losartan 100mg per day AND amlodipine IIRC 5mg per day so I stopped both cold turkey. Also stopped Tramadol cold turkey at the same ime. Didn't seem to affect BP much, if at all.

1 ReactionI started Atenolol after taking Losartan because I had a pancreatic attack. Since then I have had no problems with pancreas but I have been wondering if Atenolol could be the culprit of my last diagnosis of small veins neuropathy
