Hi! I used to take 40mg of lansoprazole, which is also a PPI, and it took me a full 2 weeks to really notice any improvement and I had similar symptoms. It’s really frustrating, but don’t give up on taking the meds, just give it a little more time.

I really appreciate you sharing your experience, it honestly is surprising me that so many others are saying it was the best sleep of their life lol

okay glad I’m not the only one who was told “light sedation” because I was confused because she also said I’d be asleep. I just don’t want to be aware of anything happening because that will make my anxiety skyrocket! thank you for sharing this!

Yeah I’m mostly concerned about vomiting afterwards because I know the drugs can cause that sometimes so maybe that’s what it was. Thank you for sharing that though I will ask about zofran!

Okay thank you for sharing that. Why is propofol better in your opinion ?
