I was prescribed Pantoprazole 20mg and took it for 3 months. It was the best thing ever for my acid reflux and I was extremely happy with it. No side effects at all.

After it finished, I got another one, same brand, same dosage. But this time I had the worst side effects of my life. Depression, hair loss, blurry vision, dry mouth, agitation, bloating, extreme fatigue like I want to faint, brain fog, memory loss, you name it. Now I’m confused about what went wrong.

How can the same medicine, same brand, same dosage, 3 months apart, have different side effects? The first one was perfect but the second one is ruining my life. I tried stopping but had the worst reflux of my life. Can someone help me out please?
