Stopped the Dexilant 60 mg 6 days ago after being on Prilosec 20 mg 2x day for Silent Reflux. I quit cold turkey because the meds were making me sicker than I was before I had the EGD 3 months ago. I now have all the burning up my esophagus and in my throat, in addition to ab pain, that I DID NOT have before the scope, only intermittent ab pain. Also have HORRIBLE indigestion and Im only eating oatmeal, banans, gluten free grains, water. I feel so weak, yet I'm starving and afraid to eat. I do see my new GI again on Thursday.
Does anyone know how long it normall takes for your body to "flip back" to the way it was without PPI's, or is the medication still in my stystem? Thanks so much everyone. I can't believe how miserable this stuff is.
