22 Mar 2012 I TRIED NEXIUM, PRILOSEC AND MANY OTHER MEDICINES FOR MY GERD. I HAD NO RELIEF. I WENT ON PREVACID 2 TIMES A DAY FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND MY SYMPTOMS WENT AWAY. WHEN I FEEL MY SYMPTOMS RETURNING, I TAKE A PILL IN THE MORNING FOR ABOUT A WEEK OR SO, AND MY SYMPTOMS SUBSIDE. THIS REALLY WORKED FOR ME!
