Definitely: Will cause increase in acid production. So will get more reflux symptoms than you used to have. This is called a rebound effect after stopping the med. I would titrate it down slowly. To avoid too much of an issue. It will regulate over time. May cause some GI upset mild loose stools but no long term effects
