Since April, I've been on Prevacid at first, then Nexium, then Protonix, and now Aciphex. The gastrointerologist told me that I could try Zantag.. and I have heard people say that the only medication that helped them was Pepcid AC. I did try Tagamet years ago, when I had severe chest pains, but I didn't keep taking it because (way back when) I was not convinced my problem was heartburn.

Unfortunately, because I'm on heavy duty abx for Lyme (and probiotics while on those), as well as Iron for anemia, I will probably have to keep taking something (anything) until I stop the abx. :( I have no idea how long that will be..
