Can Gaviscon Be Taken For Anxiety Attacks?
hi, i have suffered with anxiety and depression in the past, about 3 weeks ago i had a really bad chest and throat, real burning, (i have asthma, but controlled) i went to see my asthma nurse and asthma was fine, but we found out i had a acid reflux issue, she told me to take ranitidine, after a week i started feeling very anxius, and like a mild relapse of depression, i stopped taking them a few days ago when i find out that ranitidine can cause anxiety, today i got some gaviscon and read that it can calm the anixety dowm, is this right ?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Ranitidine does not cause any anxiety but of course the clinical condition it self is anxiety and depression in origin in my opinion it is better to try 'Tab Omeprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 30 mg" once in day with "Tab Chlordiazepoxide" three times in day, hope this information helps.
