I have been on prilosec since surgery 11/12/13. I have had times where I didn't take it for couple days and it would finally catch up with me so I dont ever not take it anymore

I've been taking it since way before surgery due to an ulcer. I am going to be taking it for the foreseeable future.

I still take mine and i had my surgery back in October. I tried to stop but no buenos. Wasnt good, i have too much acid that creeps back up if i miss it.

I tried dropping it, but no go. Too much acid.

I started Prilosec OTC then switched to prescription as it costs less. If I miss a dose I know it by the àfternoon.

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.
