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.
