Lansoprazole I think is causing me little stabbing pains throughout my body. This tablet 30 mg x 2 per day plus ranitidine seemed to cause a severe abdominal pain. It is similar to trigeminal neuralgia except all over body. Dr says blood tests in  2 weeks- he will check vitamin, magnesium levels etc. Never have I felt so unwell.

    theresa02,

    Any updates on your blood work?  By any chance, did the doctor take "intracellular" levels (especially potassium, magnesium, calcium)?

      I only know he checked magnesium levels and I asked him to do so. Not the others. I heard it was ok mag level. I was going to take a magnesium tablets anyway as I thought it might help the nervous system.
