Lansoprazole awful side effects

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi

I am on Lansporazole for about 2 weeks now. But since few days I am not myself. Blurry vision, frequent urination, anxiety and flu like symptoms.

It's terrible. Has anyone experienced such problem?

    I lasted 4 weeks on lansoprazole and had to come off it in the end. Two days in from taking it i started to experience severe breathlessness and a tight chest and as each week passed by i just became weaker and weaker. My tummy was severely bloated and any pressure on it caused immense pain. The last straw was when awful upper back pain kicked in; i couldn't lie on my back or even let my kids hug me! I've been off lansoprazole for almost 2 weeks now and I'm still no better. My tummy is still hugely bloated and my back pain comes and goes! I'm also now getting more severe attacks of heartburn and burning in my eosophagus (worse than when i first started the medication). I'm just awaiting blood test results in the hope they may show something? I'm at a loss really and feel so fed up and down!
