New Prevacid 24hr

MrCyp · Nov 27, 2009

Any of you heart burn sufferers try it yet. I just picked up a 14day pack. Its otc and around same price as prilosec. I just took one this morning on empty stomach. Usually this stuff takes a few days to kick in.

Keep us posted how it works. When I have problems I use the generic rantidine and it helps me within minutes. 75 or 150mg dose depending how bad I have reflux.

What is your age? The reason I am asking is because many times as we get older the digestive system actually has less acid then normal which as backwards as it sounds can actually cause heartburn itself. I find many people on antacids for heartburn and while they relieve the symptoms, they also cause a miriad of digestive problems. When they switch to adding betaine HCL with their meals they also get relief of their heartburn systems along with enhancing the digestive process. Not sure if that is what is going on in your case but figured but you may want to look into to it in case.

Im 27. I only get it when im over 250lbs and on cycle. I actually had an endoscopy done b/c I got scared when I heard you can get cancer from letting heartburn go too long. They did some biopsys and said i was fine. They said I can continue to take prilosec as long as I want and it will have no long term sides. Only minor sides in older women. I took the prilosec and found it didnt work well unless i took it on empty stomach, so I started taking it around 5am with my t3 cuz thats when I get up to piss. Then go back to sleep for another 4 or 5hrs. It started working then. Worked well but then I kinda got used to it and started taking 2 a day and the doc said its fine. So i've been off it a while now, like over a year but i started a cycle again (i do 1 per year) and the heartburn is back so this time Im gonna try this new prevacid. Its supposed to be like a prilosec where it takes a few days to start working. Not a quick fix like tums or even the other 12hr relief meds. We'll see how it works.

Ironically enough I almost bought some just a few mins ago but went with my trusty prilosec.....I had my gallbladder taken out a couple years ago and have had stomach acid problems ever since....fucking blows if I miss more than a day of prilosec....acid indigestion like a mofo...

keep us updated once it kicks in....I've already had to up to two pills a day, my body could prolly use a change.

Update: This stuff sucks. Not even close to prilosec.

Anything else otc stronger than prilosec?

Check this out. Best deal ive ever seen. 84 prilosecs for $29.99 The boxes are black and white. I remember they did big promo's for priolec where you bought a box and they added a 14count free sample. These guys must have scooped up the samples. 84tabs at the store would be like $100+
