Why I Take Prevacid (A “Big” Acid Reflux Medication)

can u use ranitidine to get high,,or duzz it get u too high,,i found it in my dads medicine cabinet after he had an overdose

lol, try paxil

… No.

do you can abuse of the prevacid n be high?

i thank you for making that video, now i know i am not the only one with stomach issues.

i’m taking ranitidine currently. im not sure i want to goto my gastero because i am weak as it is.

I tell you Alex Chiu’s Immortality Rings cured my acid reflux. Don’t know why but after wearing these rings for just a day my acid reflux never occured.

Maybe your lower esophageal sphincter is weak? The lower esophageal sphincter works like a check valve, it lets food in your stomach and keeps the gas from getting out. There is a test they can do to check if your lower esophageal sphincter or upper esophageal sphincter is weak its called esophageal manometry. Many hospitals do not do this test because they dont have the equipment. Many people with gerd also have a hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia is sometimes missed on an endoscopy

Your theory on how you got gerd was interesting. I wonder did you drink a lot of diet soda? I think thats what got me. That and to much orange juice.
Have you considered that maybe you did some kind of damage to yourself before you decided to eat more healthy? That maybe your body told you something was wrong so you decided to eat more healthy, but by then it was to late? I am not a doctor maybe your gerd is not that bad and will clear up good luck to you,

You’re right, though, in that I do have laryngopharyngeal reflux. Thing is, I get symptoms of GERD as well. I guess it was just easier to diagnose me with GERD as a catch-all, with the realization that my kind of acid reflux attacks my vocal cords.

Well, I take 30mg Prevacid once daily (in the morning, before I eat anything) and it does the trick nicely.

Sounds like laryngopharyngeal reflux, and not GERD. The treatment for that condition is alot more aggressive. Usually requiring twice the dose for GERD. I have it that condition, and have gotten aspiration pneumonia because of it. Gonna switch to Prevacid coz Protonix is one messed up med. Avoid that one if you can.

i take gaviscon

But I would try something like ranitidine before I went for something like Prevacid, unless your reflux is extremely severe.

It can work for many people, yes, but it is a milder medication than something like Prevacid. I was on it for probably 7-8 months before it stopped working for me, and my doctor switched me to Prevacid.

is ranitidine any good?

Apparently I accidentally removed a comment… but, umm, it’s not at ALL harmful to have lessons before age 16 if you are properly trained. My nodules were caused from my REFLUX, which washed ACID over my vocal cords. You don’t think that can be at all damaging??

Once I was on the reflux pills my voice went back to normal again. And I have never had any problems with it since. So my vocal problems were clearly NOT a result of improper training as you seem to think.

Tums barely even make a dent when you have acid reflux disease. :S

oh take tums it helps good :]

Yes i have acid reflux last night it comes up i try to spit it out it Burns!!!

i got acid reflux and it sucks. it is horrible. i just came from tha doctor a couple of hours ago. i was prescribed prevacid. my doctor said no more beer!!!! that really sucks

because ive been on nexium for about 10 months and i dont want to be on it for the rest of my life even tho its not healing my stomach like its spose to… anyways thanks for posting this i dont know anyone else who has it!

finally someone talks about this!

i take nexium which is similar to prevacid i was taking zantac but it didnt work but nexium is a life line becuase without my stomach like eats itself alive

if you dont mind how many mg do u take?

anyways even tho my nexium gives me headaches and i get a sore esophagus from the gas it gives me without PPI’s i would be in total pain all the time so hallayula lol and im only 15 so its esp bad

i see this was mae a while so do you still take it? contd^

Apple is so acidic that it is likely to make reflux WORSE, not better.

I’m no doctor, and I suggest you consult with your doctor about any medication changes. Until you talk with him, I would recommend that you continue with the medication as he’s prescribed it.

PS: Ranitidine is Zantac, not Prevacid… not sure if you were aware of that, so I thought I’d clarify.
