Hi bedwedge, Unfortunately I have the same frustration as you. When I first received my rx of Prevacid, I read the leaflet about
it like I always do with new medication and saw that it said that this was a short term medication and I almost fell out of my chair with joy. Well that was short lived when my doctor told me that most people (like me in this instance) will go on and off of it. Blah, blah, blah... someone should tell the makers of Prevacid that that is not a funny joke.
Since it is not working for you, have you spoken with your dr. about
something else? Have you tried any other PPI to see if it works?
