Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that is used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, to treat or prevent conditions, such as heartburn, GERD, ulcers and Gastritis.

It is not known to cause depression, but it is really difficult to say how any one medication may affect any person that is using it.

Have you consulted your doctor about it?

This is very beneficial to me. I have been on pantoprazole 40 mg daily for many years. The past year my doctor prescribed 2 x a day along with famotidine 40mg at bedtime. I always read side effects of all medication prescribed and some of the symptoms mentioned in the discussion I am having, tightness in the throat, intense back pain, can't sleep. I can go on and on. I am glad this topic is being discussed I never thought some of my issues could be because of my stomach medication since they are not listed in the side effects. Since several people mentioned the same concerns It has to be the medication. I am going to stop the pantoprazole will let you know if some of my problems go away.

I am using Pantop-40 as prescribed by Dr for last 4 years every day one tablet. Just want to know, what will be the side effect of using this medicine for such a long period? I have consulted different doctors and everyone has told me to continue taking it. Is there any other medicine available in India which would have lesser side effects than this tablet? I am not sure how long I will have to use it, as whenever I have stopped taking it even for one day, my esophagus starts burning.
