I have been taking PPI meds since 1995 but recently my Aciphex 20 mgs has been burning after I take it. To complicate matters, I have been diagnosed with low Thyroid and am taking 25mcg Synthroid, which is causing greater gastric distress and dizziness. My tinnitus roars, adding to my misery. I have been on the Synthroid for 15 days and am so bloated & miserable with heartburn. I would dearly like to get off the PPI meds but know this is a tricky, slow process, as long term use is not a good thing. What can you tell me about this?
