Evidence Desk Prompt • Taper Timing: What PPI step-down schedule and alginate timing did your prescriber approve?

We're collecting practical taper details, not medical advice. If you've tapered omeprazole or pantoprazole with clinician guidance, share what you can. 1) Starting dose (for example omeprazole 40 mg or pantoprazole 40 mg) and how long you'd taken it. 2) Step-down schedule, such as daily to every other day over 2-4 weeks. 3) When you took alginate (commonly after meals and at bedtime) and how many mL per dose. 4) Whether you used famotidine 10-20 mg only as needed. 5) When rebound symptoms peaked and when they eased. 6) Any labs checked, such as magnesium or B12. Include approximate generic cash prices if you paid out of pocket, for example a 30-day omeprazole 20 mg supply. Please do not post advice to stop medication without medical supervision.
