Esomeprazole

Hi. Four days ago I was changed from Omeprazole 20mg twice a day to Esomeprazole 40mg twice a day. I am really struggling with extreme lethargy and feel really spaced out. Has anyone else experienced this and found that it got better over time? These ones seem to be helping a lot better with my constant coughing fits and phlegm so will perservere if these side-effects are just temporary. Please advise.

Hi i had awful problems at first with phelm & coughing but it did get better but took quite a long time. I am on Lansoprazole 30mg which I take 1 each morning

Its now some 8+ years ago that I had my op & now I know what foods to avoid, but likeI said it does get better.

Hope all goes well with u.

Cheers

I was told to take omeprazole at night and nil by mouth at least 3 hours before bed. The bed head has to be raised using a couple of bricks. All this has helped reduce the cough so far.
