PPI Odd Side Effects

[Vanessa74]

I was on Prilosec OTC (thank you Crazylife - it helps to know someone else had my side effects). I have been given Prevacid to try but am afraid. I use Pepcid A/C but does not seem strong enough.

I have modified my diet 100% -- I really think what is causing my acid problem is the HBP medication that I take (Toprol).

Maybe I should try Zantac?

Thanks for your replies!

Thanks

I took Nexium for 6 weeks. It did nothing for my LPR so the dr. told me to stop.

Thank you for the information.

I am so sorry Chalupa - you sound like you are still really suffering.... No relief for you yet???

I think being on Toprol for 4 years has caused this horrible acid problem that started for me suddenly in October -- not getting better.

I am not sure if the breathing problems are from the Toprol - the acid reflux, both - or if I have developed asthma. I am terrified every single day and not feeling any better.
