Famotidine (Pepcid) Uses, Side Effects & Precautions

[@colemartinez3372]

I was taking pecid regularly (twice a day) for many months and it worked 3/4 of the time but i couldn't not have it or i would have had the probability of throwing up all the food i ate. I started to feel sad and felt really off mentally, it slowly got worse. I did some googling and all it was saying for side affects was the common crap and then some rare ones, but one article said that mental satus was a rare side affect but this video helped clarify that what i read was true (i stopped right away after i read the article). If anyone knows a great way to naturally prevent/stop acid reflux please comment.

im going to be trying apple cider vingar 2xd day seen other ppl mention that helped as this seems to come from lack of stomach acid / stress/ really bad sleep schdules

[@crand20033]

@@dominics109 ACV didn't take it away for me. The only way is OTC medications. Not tums or Rolaids either. Some foods and meds aggravate it more than others but most people don't want to avoid them.

U might want to try potato 🥔 juice. Blend potato in blender and drink it twice day. Will feel better

[@crand20033]

@@DanielCorona-br2by Whatever I try, it's always just a temporary fix. Acid reflux has no mercy. It always comes back again and again. Even healthy foods trigger it.

[@wiljaxbrantley342]

the only way to stop reflux is to eat food that dosent cause it try a keto diet and figure put what foods work and dont

[@crand20033]

Yes, I think it gives me constipation. But it is awesome for acid reflux. I feel as if I don't have this chronic disease anymore.

see some psychiatrist . get an anxiety pill for 6 months to 2 years at least and on settling of your problem , you can taper it off and leave it .

Some of those side affects may depend on the amount of Famotidine you take.

[@HealthRX]

I agree. Most side effects for a lot of medications tend to be dose dependent.

[@crand20033]

@@HealthRX In light of that, I try to limit my famotidine to one pill a day instead of two. I can take a rolaid if I need more relief for the day. I take cialis so I need strong AR medicine.

Please use the speed function on KZbin, you can go as low as 0.25x. Actually, when I was listening to his speech, I increased the speed to 1.5x, to save my time, but still clear for me. So it depends on one's personal preference.
