I have been slowing weening off. I started with one day a week, taking vitamin E instead of omeprazole. My doctor recommended this and said you can’t take them together on same day, and just to alternate between the two of them.it was rough at first and I took it slow, doing this one day a week for months. Those days would be tough, but pushed though. Then I increased it two days a day (taking vitamin E instead of it). It took me over a year to wean off. If I have a really bad day, then the next day I might take it, but that was it. Unfortunately this past month, I have gone backwards and now taking omeprazole 3-4 days week. I need to take weaning off again. I have good things about Silver Fern to heal/fix Gerd but it is expensive. You just have to find what works for you and just start. You can do it!
