I got off by using famotidine (Pepcid or Zantac). Maybe try a slower switch over. Every other day may be too fast. And yes, maybe do famotodine twice a day- once the taper is done- then once, then 1/2, then as needed.

I had to dedicate a couple of months to this. The body learns to make more acid when on PPI's and needs to relearn normal acid production.

I never eat after 5 or 6pm, and sleep at an angle.

The taper does work but it takes time!
