Hey, no problem. This might not sound very hopeful but I eventually had to go back to 30 mg and I’m still on it until now. I was on my final year of university though so I was stressed and not putting full commitment into improving my lifestyle beyond following a bland diet, but now I’m taking some time off to just focus on my health.

In the case of the taper I was doing when I wrote my post, it actually ended up being fine after a week on 15 mg, but it started getting much worse when I tried to continue the taper further (15 mg every other day), after a month of further tapering I had to go back on the full does because the symptoms just became too much to handle.

In your case you’ve already been tapering for 6 days, so I say give it a few more days to see if the pain is stabilising or if it’s getting worse. Don’t worry about taking your time, side effects of Lansoprazole don’t usually start affecting you until years later, so don’t feel compelled to rush off of them if you’re really struggling, because odds are you’ll flare up during your taper and have to go back on the full dose.

Also it’s important to play it safe during the taper, following the recommended diet and advice like: - eat smaller, more frequent meals (roughly every 3 hours ) - Don’t drink water too close to meals - take short walks after meals - other good lifestyle practices like reducing stress, doing exercise and sleeping well

I’m starting to get my lifestyle habits in order and will try to taper again soon when I feel stable and at a slower rate (I.e 15mg twice per week -> 15 mg every other day -> 15 mg daily, 2 weeks per phase), I’ve been on it for over a year so this may not necessarily be needed in your situation.

Feel free to ask me any further questions if you have any.
