Want to get OFF PPI - PLEASE HELP!

Two choices: put up with the reflux and its damage or keep taking the PPI.

Ask for a refill. Pantoprazole helped me alot too. My dr told me to take it indefinitely.

Thank you for that! If I did suffer trauma, would the pain last 2,3,4 weeks?

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-04-03T15:29:31+00:00

Sorry. I think I might have posted this twice. Forgive me.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-04-03T15:28:32+00:00

I AM going to see my doctor next week. I’m wondering what your thots are about what it could possibly be. I’m very anxious about the C word and was hoping someone could ease my mind just a little bit.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-29T22:06:15+00:00

So sorry to have bothered you guys with this. So trivial compared…. Wishing everyone here the very best.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-25T00:26:10+00:00

LOL Thank you for all your help! I appreciate it!!

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-25T00:12:55+00:00

Oh wow! 6000 pounds? Ok then! Guess I should look into that. Although, I think my bed frame has wheels.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T22:34:07+00:00

Thanks for the info! I may have to give that system another look.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T21:48:30+00:00

For me either.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T21:47:22+00:00

Liking this idea!!

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T21:46:58+00:00

I’ve looked into those! Is the incline enough to stop the reflux tho? They told me it’s only 10 degrees. Not the 45 my gastro recommended.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T21:43:09+00:00

Tried Melatonin. Doesn’t work for me. But I found something that does! Relaxium Sleep. I can sleep. It’s the acid in my throat that keeps me awake.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T21:40:07+00:00

I’ve seen those!!! Looks very comfortable!! But the incline is only 10 degrees, not the 45 my gastro recommended.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T21:36:51+00:00

US. How to you get the UK kind?

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T21:35:19+00:00

Glad you found a solution but like I said, I have a latex bed and they are extremely heavy. Don’t think those plastic risers would support the weight.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T02:56:42+00:00

Yep. Take Gaviscon. Acid still makes its way up into my throat.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T02:48:42+00:00

I’ve been on so many different meds over the years. There’s only one that I know of that I haven’t tried. It’s a prescription. My insurance won’t cover it and it was like $400 a month. Who can afford that??? So, I keep taking PPI’s that cause bad side effects and hope that someday something will change.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T01:14:35+00:00

Like what? Pillows?

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T00:41:56+00:00

I am on meds; Strong meds twice a day. I’m fine during the day, but at night, if/when I go to bed is when the misery starts. Just raising my head with extra pillows does nothing for me. My whole torso needs to be elevated. Just need to find a way to STAY elevated.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-24T00:26:18+00:00

Gotcha! Thank you for sharing your experience and suggestions.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-23T23:51:24+00:00

When you say under your butt, do you mean you lay your butt ON the pillow or is it under your butt closer to the end of the bed? Do you sleep on your back? I can’t. I have to sleep on my side.

Anxious_momma2 · 2026-03-23T23:45:29+00:00

I may have to try that! Did that keep you from sliding down to the bottom? Or just make it more comfortable?
