Have you tried Prevacid or the newest Protonix? I take Protonix for a condition similar to GERD caused by Tegretol. Protonix is taken once-a-day, is covered by insurance, and has no side-effects.
> I am Bipolar. I also suffer with acid reflux (GERD). It is a constant battle to balance Psycmeds (FXR, Neurontin, Topamax) as they aggrevate my stomach. I take Prilosec & OTC antacids for GERD. I feel like I am chasing my tail. I take the psycmeds to improve mood-this causes stomach distress-which causes anxiety-I take a Klonopin-Sleep-Start over- ad nauseum. I have talked to GIdoc & pdoc with no resolution. Any suggestions? TIA

> PS-I have tried alot of different med combos & all seem to exacerbate GERD
