Coming off esomeprazole for endoscopy.
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi, recently posted in gastritis but just wanted a moan really. Having been on esomeprazole for nearly 10 years now I have a endoscopy booked for the 18th and have to stop all meds including ranitidine which I take 150mg of along with 20mg eso. I cannot believe how hard this is, I really am concerned as to what these tablets are masking and have virtually convinced myself that the news will be bad. My dosage is really low but so necessary, this drug really takes hold and I now believe I will be on it for life. I have no acid or any problems apart from a little burning chest pain now and again when on meds, which goes with an extra 20mg, so how can it be so bad after just 3 days without anything?

Good luck and don't give up hope! There might even be a life possible without PPI. It has multiple disadvantages that are worth quitting for.
