GERD & Heartburn Support Group

If it was Protonix then yes. It really helped me a lot, especially at night time since that is when my GERD is usually worse. Aside from diet change I only had to quit eating up to 2 hrs before bedtime. :)

When I was first diagnosed, my doctor put me on Protonix. It didn't work for me, and within 2 weeks, he had me on Aciphex. Now I take Prilosec (omeprazole(. All of the PPIs are so similar, and I think you just have to experiment to see which one works the best for you.

none of them seems to work for me. I have been on prevacid, am on nprilosec atm and was on protonix before as I said. I might go and ask for that again and give it a try.

Pantoprazole is the generic for Protonix. I've used both forms before, and Zegerid, and Omeprazole. I am now on Nexium and it is working for me. I agree with Sue825, you just have to figure out which PPI works best for you.

Been on it for 6 years, and works best for me. At first made me pretty sick, but now am completely dependent. Tried aciphex and nexium, but seemed less potent or something. I think just eating very small meals and no food whatsoever after 6pm makes the real difference. I have a huge hiatal hernia, so i'll be on this crap forever or until i have a successful surgery, which i hear most of the time patients end up still on the ppi drugs anyways. So, no more pizza.

I just wonder if im going to be fracturing a hip by the time im 45.
