While I think Zantac worked very well I feel that I must alert you to a
memory problem I had been experiencing. After taking Zantac for quite a
few months I started to experience a severe lack of concentration if you
will an example would be - I would be talking with someone and words
that I normally used would not come to my mind, I mean even the simplest
of words. I checked the side effects and it was not listed, I started
to think I had the beginnings of dementia, it got worse and worse, one
day while reading the newspaper I came across an article on a study by
Zantac of people with color, and there it was exactly what I was
experiencing.
I am Caucasian and have had the same reaction as in the people in your
study.
While your product might have helped my stomach it certainly scared me
into thinking I had dementia. It has been quite a few months and my
memory is back to normal. Everyone forgets what they want to say every
so often and perhaps a word or two might escape you, but this was not
the case at all. I only thank goodness that I came across that article
and stopped taking Zantac immediately. While the stomach problems are
still with me at least I have my memory back.
I hope you look into this and make others aware that this could happen,
I hate to think that my memory problem would have been a permanent dementia.
