Taking Topzole For GERD Problem, Weight Gain, Hairloss, Tiredness, Sleeplessness, Feeling Miserable. Can I Stop Tablets?
I m on 20mg Topzole for a Gerd problem - its been a year now and I ve gained 6kg in weight. Also my hair is thinning out rapidly. I m always tired and miserable and cant get to sleep at night :) Is it possible these tablets have changed my life. Can I wean myself off the 20mg Topzole? If so, how do just that. Thank you Dr.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic!
Weight gain, hair loss , tiredness and sleeplessness are not any side effects of topzole.
You have mentioned you have been on topzole for a year now.
You have not mentioned whether you have symptom relief with topzole.
You can take topzole for 4-8 weeks.
Lifestyle changes like weight reduction if obese, avoiding alcohol, smoking, coffee, citrus, tomato, bedtime snacks are essential for complete relief.
