A member asked:
Are there any ppi's that don't have anxiety as a side effect? i am on prilosec now and i get bad anxiety from it.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I believe the: Anxiety side effect would be the same in all ppis since they belong to the same class of drug. Consider cutting the dose in half or take it at bedtime or take it every other day and alternate it with antacid. Discuss these with ur pcp. Best wishes!
