After Taking Prevacid (Lansoprazole) for Years, I Find It Is on the "Naughty" List, Any Suggestions?

[Leah]

I find it is on the "naughty" list anyone have a suggestion for a similar product with aggravating T.
I appreciate your help.

I was on Prilosec when my t started. I researched and found the only thing for GERD that's not ototoxic is Zantac. You have to take it 2x day about 30 minutes before you eat, which is a pain to try to remember but it does work, at least it has for me. I know everybody is different.

Thank you very much, will give it a try.

@Isabella 123
Was it the prilosec that caused your T? Did your t go away after quitting?

 

[Isabella 123]

No it didn't go away, sorry to say. I wish I had known not to take it. I'm not sure if it caused or contributed to my T but I'm sure it didn't help. Btw I found very good help for my gerd from Chris Kessler's website about stomach acid, I followed his protocols and it ended my GERD! Now if someone would just come up with a tinnitus remedy!!! Another btw, I have learned to avoid aspartame and all forms of MSG, both of which make my T just scream.

Sorry to hear that. @Isabella 123 were you on any other meds the time your t started?

 

[Isabella 123]

Yes also Synthroid which is ototoxic for some and is for me. But I was exposed to some loud noise about the same time too. So I think it was a combination of things. I've since switched to Armour thyroid med and my t has gotten a lot quieter.

@Isabella 123 do you don't think it was the omeprazole that caused it?

 

[Isabella 123]

I think most people don't know what caused their tinnitus except maybe a few who have defining events in their lives like explosions or rock concerts or whiplash or massive ear infections. I can't say for sure about the Prilosec but I'm not going to swallow even one more pill of it, just in case. Everyone is different, we are all affected differently. I just know for myself I am avoiding every single thing that might make mine worse. That includes the heartburn meds. Which I don't need anymore since I cured my GERD in other ways....

I'm on it right now and it caused mine to spike really high. I've stopped taking it for one day now and its a bit better @Isabella 123

 

[Isabella 123]

That's great! It should be all out of your system soon. It's too bad we have to choose which of our disorders to deal with in order not to aggravate another one! Google Chris Kresser and GERD, I learned some amazing and easy and healing things there that might help you not need the Prevacid.

@Isabella 123 thanks! Will look into it

I hate to bother you, and I know this is an old thread, but I was just wondering I read that you have taken some med's for your acid reflux. May I ask if you ever took "Zantac" ? and if so did it have any effect on your tinnitus ? I took one yesterday and I seem to have a spike, I have been taking "Prilosac" for more then 15 years with no effect on my tinnitus at all. So I just don't understand why I have a spike now.


Thank You in advance for your response.
