For GERD "Have used Tagamet 300 mg since it was first released. Dosage has varied from 4 tablets when I first started using to 2 tablets daily currently. It has helped manage my digestion and pulled me back from the brink many times. ( YES ) I’ve tried other medications including PPI and other H2 acid blockers. Tagamet at this time still works best for me."

For GERD "I prefer to take Tagamet rather than all the new PPIs. Tagamet does not have the rebound effect that the PPIs have and is easy to start and stop. I have recently read that anticholinergic medications such as Tagamet can lead to or play a part in the development of Alzheimer’s. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t!"

For GERD "I have had peptic ulcers for 30 years, even though I have a very healthy diet. It is part of a hereditary disease. I started taking 400 mg Tagamet 3 times daily with hydroxyzine for interstitial cystitis cramping. The side effect of controlling my peptic ulcer has been amazing. I still watch my diet but am able to eat in public without feeling ill."

"I took both H1 and H2 antihistamines for persistent hives, which reduced itching. Taking Tagamet had an unintended consequence. By reducing stomach acid, it caused small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Food that is usually digested in the stomach can enter the small intestine and feed bacteria."
