Close GERD & Heartburn

I started suffering this problem in my 40's and have been on numerous medications. I have even involved myself in clinical trials for it, which I liked for the free medicines I got for years. Nexium has been the best so far. It even healed my ulsers I got from all the heartburn. My stomach doc told me I either needed a divorce or a new job to help me stay well from the ulcers and stomach acids. I got both,but neither helped for long.I still suffer and take daily meds for acid reflux.

Treatments

Antacids Somewhat Helpful

Too mild of relief

Nexium Working / Worked

Love it, but too expensive to keep taking. No insurance to cover the cost

Pepcid Working / Worked

It stopped working after a while

Prevacid Working / Worked

It stopped working after a while

Prilosec Working / Worked

Quit working after a while

Protonix Working / Worked

I take Effexor which activates my acid reflux strongly. Protonix is cheaper than Nexium, but I like Nexium better. I have also been raising the bed, it soon just wore off and was no help.

Tagamet Working / Worked

Quit working after a while
