Feel about 90% better. I took 12mg once a day for 7 days. Not a medical recommendation, just a personal report.

I took 12mg for 20 days.
Thank You!
Don't just take a random dose. The dosage for ivm is 0.2 mg per kilogram of body weight.
Yes, I'm aware of the dosage, I've taken it before. I am just curious about treatment for gerd. I'm trying to get off prilosec due to gerd but as soon as I stop taking it the heartburn is unbearable. Figured I would give this a try.
If you stop prilosec suddenly you will have rebound acid. You need to stop it gradually. I took about 6 weeks to wean myself off of it. When I was taking it I had head to toe bodyaches all the time, like fibromyalgia. It's because prilosec, and other gerd meds, don't allow your body to absorb nutrients. You'll feel better if you stop taking it.
