magtart 603 Posted March 20, 2014 I've been taking it since way before surgery due to an ulcer. I am going to be taking it for the foreseeable future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doug100 17 Posted March 20, 2014 I started Prilosec OTC then switched to prescription as it costs less. If I miss a dose I know it by the àfternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mich 74 Posted March 20, 2014 I read an article once that said when weaning off a PPI you are better off to go to a Zantac type acid reducer as a next step. Then gradually drop that dosage down until you stop. Stoping a PPI cold turkey can give you high levels of rebound acid that lasts weeks. That said my doctor says Zantac for life. I'm not happy about that, but I do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
