I've been tapering my Pantoprazole for a little over a year. I currently take 20mg every other day. I see my GI 8/6. I'm hoping that at this appointment, he will stop the Pantoprazole. I also take...
I agree with SharonZ. You should discuss adding this medication with your doctor who can give you the best advice....
The GI doc didn't tell me what to expect. Yea, so I went from 40mg twice a day, went down to 40mg once daily, then alternated between 40mg and 20mg each day. Then, I went down to 20mg every day. Now...

I've gone through acid rebound when I lowered my Pantoprazole from 40mg daily to alternating 20mg and 40mg. Some of the acid rebound resolved within a few days but some took about a month to settle....
