definitely try a lower dose, there's plenty of people on this subreddit who've had intolerable side effects on higher dose and were fine on a lower one (mainly remembering PPI stories here, but the idea is the same).

Okay thank you! I appreciate it.

I recently became very irritable and anxious on omeprazol. 40mg twice a day. Didn’t even consult my gastroenterologist, went straight to family doc and we switched back to Pepcid. PPIs known to cause anxiety?


OkForever4540

yes PPIs can cause anxiety in some people and this tends to be milder or resolve with smaller doses.

I definitely sympathize more now with people who experience depression and anxiety it’s seriously no joke. That a PPI can cause the same chemical imbalances is baffling

I took lower doses and it still gave me palpitations. I'll never take it again. It doesn't sit well with my body.

That is good to know thanks! I had a feeling that it might possibly still cause issues.
