It took me a year to wean myself off. My doctor recommended alternating between vitamin E with Prilosec, but never take them on the same day. I started with one day a week, vitamin E and no Prilosec. Did this two months or so. Once my acid reflux was tolerable on my off days, then I would add another day of vitamin E. It took a year and didn’t think I could do it, especially for being on it for 4+ years. I have occasional flare ups and will take Prilosec for a few days. Good luck!

My friend is trying a silver fern supplement. They have a few for digestive issues and acid reflux. They have a regime to wean you off Prilosec

Several questions. What dose of Vitamin E were you taking? Did your doctor explain why Vitamin E would help on the days you didn't take Prilosec? Eventually, were you taking Vitamin E every day when you completely got off Prilosec and do you continue taking Vitamin E daily now? Thanks.

Hmmmm.........I take many vitamins each morning including Vitamin E along with my Oprazole. I have not had any GERD attacks all this time. I attribute it to the Omprazole I have been taking all these years. Of course, I do not eat any thing spicy and no alcohol. Is it just luck, or is my new regimine working?
