Is this heartburn?

Man I just got back from Wally world, as I have had acid reflux since 8:00pm, when I read this post. I went and picked up some Prilosec, but then read the box when I got home and says it does not work right away. After eating 6 Tum tablets you think it would ease up a little (NOPE). I may have to run back out for Gaviscon, I need sleep or I won't make it at work tomorrow, and I'm sure the boss wont like that. Thanks for the info. I think today has been the worst it has been and the longest I have had it, I actually had it on and off all day. If it don't go away I think I may cry.....

It's true that Prilosec can take up to 14 days for maximum efficacy. But, it will work. You might have to take it twice a day in the beginning. I really hope your doc gets serious about the reflux. Tums just won't cut it, and it's just a miserable situation to be in.

Well I called my doctors office, and spoke with a triage nurse, she is having me go and get checked out. Finally I have been having this problem since week one. Maybe something will get done now. Wish me luck, I just hope it is not something more serious.

Tums and Rennies do nothing for me, but GAVISCON does the trick. It's sugar free and not too disgusting. I'd definitely recommend it.

I was told to take Prilosec ( OTC) every day for the next 6 months by my doctor. I started on them my first day home.

My doctor recommended Pepcid AC chewables. You might try those!
