Guidance on weaning 40mg×2 Pantoprazole
Reddit has been really helpful in this troublesome fight with gastritis. Now, I am attempting to come off ppi. Need help please.
I need help coming off of 40mg ×2 pantoprazole which i am on for 10months now. Pantoprazole comes only in 20mg and 40mg tablets. So I can't do 10mg and 5mg in the way you described. I would have really loved to do it in that way. I'm now on day 4 of doing 40mg AM and 20mg PM. My body takes time of 8-10 days to really react or give me an insight as to it suits me or not. Assuming I am successful with this step, what can be my next possible step towards tapering it further? I am in dilemma with these choices - 1) Keep 40mg AM as is and drop further the 20mg PM and replace it with either 20mg or 40mg Pepcid. When this sets, then drop 40mg AM to a 20mg AM and evening Pepcid as is ......& so on. OR 2) Drop the 40mg AM to a 20mg and do 20mg AM and 20mg PM for 2-3 weeks or until set on it. Then remove 20mg PM and replace with Pepcid and keep 20mg AM as is until set. Then drop 20mg AM ....
Any ideas or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
