Anyone here experienced constipation with lansoprazole drugs i.e. Dexilant or Prilosec? I have been taking 60mg/day for about 4 months with a slight increase to 120 mg/day for one month. I am experiencing constipation enough to where 3 stool softeners a day does not help.

Hi James
I suffered with terrible constipation whilst I was on the ppi meds (nexium and I tried others).
I would give magnesium ago. I have attendency to get blocked up and last couple of days I've taken powdered mag supp and it's been amazing for my bowels. No straining!!!!
All the best
Dom

I had diahrea for 1-2 days and then the symptoms cleared, I think that you may be on a too high dosage I mean 60mg dose is a high dose 120mg lanso is the maximum dose unless you've got Zoolynger Elisson or something like that... Could you please tell us why are you taking the med...

I've never had it to bother me and I've been taking 40mg a day for a couple of years. If your talking other Meds maybe check the side effects on them. Good luck.

that's not good. you need to change to something else. or cut down on the amount of medication you are taking. That's never happened to me. I've been taking prilosex and pepcid 40mlg each. it doesn't really help that much but I don't have any side effects from it.

5 years or longer. I can't remember exactly when started taking it.
