Stopping Lansoprazole
(Newest replies first)

Been on lansoprazole 30 mg for 2 years. Feeling nausea headaches & cracking knees. Can I stop immediately or wean off to 15 mg then stop?

I posted a similar thread to yours, but was wondering if you ever found out if the stopping the Lansoprazole was the cause of your headaches? Did they stop eventually? I'm on 3 weeks and I'm still fighting them!

Thanks!

Hello, Willow! How are you?

You should be able to just stop, unless your doctor instructs otherwise. The worst symptoms from a sudden withdrawal are sometimes rebound heart burn and reflux.

The nausea and headaches can be normal side effects, as reported by the FDA, you may also experience stomach pain and flatulence.

Is there anything else I can help with?
