hi Ive been on a PPI drug for over three years and now have to stop it cold turkey for a week before an endoscopy. As the drug is not controlling my symptoms very well I am absolutely terrified at having to be without it for 7 days. The information leaflet from the hospital says no PPI or H2 blocker drugs for a week, but I can use Gaviscon, Settlers or Tums. These have NOT helped my symptoms in the past and I'm a complete wreck with worry over this.
Has anyone had any experience of doing this and can tell me what worked for them and helped them cope?
My GP bless him has given me short course of diazepam to help me through the "cold turkey" week but I know this will only help with the anxiety and not the acid symptoms.
Any feedback would be most welcome
Thanks:yahoo:
