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

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.
Thanks! I take capsuls so I was taking 2 twenty MG but now down to one ... guess I'll call the doctor for lower dose next refill.
If I try to stop I'm ok the first 2 days then I feel like I'm having a heart attack its so bad....
Thanks again!
This is good to know thanks so much! Good luck with your BP and arthritis! Here's to hoping it has a similar affect on me ...
I took it when I started getting a cold ... my colds always last 2 weeks and after 2 days I was fine ... its a miracle. Hopefully it cures my Gerd.. thanks again!
