Hi Tots,
Welcome to Healing Well! It seems to me that if you're having that much trouble you need to see your doctor again, or at least follow his/her directions regarding the medications. Pantoprozole (Protonix) is the medication that I was put on most recently. I went from Prilosec, to Nexium, and finally to Protonix.
I was on Nexium, and my GI doc felt that the Pantoprozole was a better option.
If you still struggling there's no reason not to give the meds a try. It will take consistent use for a longer period of time. Give it a chance! It's worth it to improve your quality of life.
Good luck!
Denise
