Ok, so i had my first heartburn attack today. It was my first day back to work and i didnt take my prilosec in the morning, thinking i could just take it when i got home. :0( i didnt think it would matter, as its not "fast acting" anyway. Either it mattered or something else is going on. Any thoghts? Im on one 20 mg pill per day.

Even on Prevacid I could never skip. Take it first or you will likely be miserable. That was probally the cause of the heartburn.

Does increasing the dose of PPI help with hunger for those 3+ months out? I take 1 Prilosec daily and found hunger returning. If it is acid, I can see an increase would help me.

I take two Prilosec and two Zantac daily! Recommended by my doctor' date=' and its working for me.[/quote']

That's great news. What times during the day do you take them? How long have you been on them? Did your md give you a time limit on how long u can stay on this schedule? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone ever wake up with a burning sensation in their chest? That is what I'm faced with and I'm on pantazole twice per day. sleeping upright is not fun.

I would say its likely heartburn gerd related. Have you talked with your Md?

Taking two Prilosec on am and Zantac at night has really helped.

Switched to Prevacid. What a relief! I went from feeling like my stomach was a raw wound to being not sensitive to Fluid. And I didn't have to sit up the whole night . Thanks folks

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
