"Lansoprazole has eliminated pain from gastritis for 6 years. Downsides are that I become anemic due to reduced ability to absorb B vitamins from food. Taking sublingual B complex vitamins (1 mg x twice daily) has raised my energy level considerably."

"Simply, I had severe stomach pain, often unbearable. I was always tired. Due to my fear of doctors, I did not seek medical help for approximately a year. Went to see doc, she gave me these capsules, and I have my life back. No more pain and full of energy. I'm me again. Would recommend to anyone."

"I have been taking lansoprazole 30 mg twice a day for a little over a year, getting great relief for my erosive esophagitis and GERD. My pharmacist switched to this manufacturer, and it did not work as well as the other manufacturer. Therefore, I am taking this plus filling in with Pepcid at least once a day. I am now looking for another pharmacy so I can go back to the other manufacturer's product. Very disappointing."

"I’ve been on Pepcid for like 20 years. It has always worked perfectly for my severe acid reflux disease. However, recently the previous black/pink capsules have been changed to white/blue ones. Could care less about the color, but these do not work for me. A few times a week, I have to take over-the-counter acid reducers or take another lansoprazole."

"It's kind of alright. It was more effective when I first started taking it. It still works alright for me throughout the day. I take it for acid reflux. Acid reflux goes away quicker if I lay down on my left side. It's not a huge problem. Just that it could affect me in public if it starts not working properly. I think I might need to start taking two, though, as it isn't as effective on me as it used to be. Just glad I can still live my life without it affecting me."

Lansoprazole "This is the only thing that works for me, have tried Nexium, Prilosec, and countless other stomach medications. Always go back to Prevacid."

"It cost you $400 a month? I’m in the UK, and the same drug cost me £6.50 for a month's supply. That’s so crazy."
