Lansoprazole 15mg DR Capsules: My experience with side effects and how I managed them
I was prescribed Lansoprazole 15mg DR Capsules to treat my chronic acid reflux and ulcers. At first, the medication worked wonders—no more heartburn or stomach pain. However, after a few weeks, I started experiencing some side effects. I noticed mild headaches and occasional constipation, but the most alarming was a recurring bout of dizziness and fainting spells. I'm not sure if these are common, but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone else has had similar experiences. It's a tough balance between managing the symptoms and dealing with the side effects. How have you all coped with this medication's potential drawbacks? I would love to hear some of your stories and any tips you might have.

I had the same dizziness issue and it was a nightmare. I thought I was going crazy. Turns out it's a side effect. I switched to a different PPI and all is fine now. But be it is a rare and serious side effect. Your doctor should have warned you about these.
If anyone experiences dizziness or fainting, please go to the ER. Unlike mild problems like headache, these can be serious side effects.
I had a weird rash while I was on Lansoprazole. Turns out it was an allergic reaction. I had to stop taking it immediately. Luckily, my doctor switched me to something else that works just as well.
I just started Lansoprazole and so far, so good! No side effects yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've heard horror stories, so I'm a bit nervous.
