I have had a change in my meds lately and the GERD like symptoms presented. Cymbalta was doubled from 60mg to 120 mg. Lexapro dropped and topamax doubled from 50 mg to 100 mg. Good night, sister Joe, the GERD has to go. Any thoughts.... I am constantly belching like I drank a six pack. My throat at the base fells like a wrench is around it. My chest feels like someone punched me. I have tried pepto, zantac, gas-X, etc. It's not working. It hurts for food to be swallowed at the base of the throat. GEES, enough complaining shadows....

Lamictal gave me GERD...I wonder then if it could possibly be topomax for you?
