Try dexilant. They changed me from protonix to dexilant and works amazing.

I was on Prontonix for a few weeks and stopped as it is not good for the kidney. I have one kidney and kidney disease. I’m trying no caffeine and life style change.

I have to take one of the meds for gerd daily or o can't eat or function at all. I can't go more than a day without it without suffering. I can't even imagine having to stop. It scares me. On them for over 10 years now

I was on protonix for at least 10 years due to acid reflux and heartburn. Two years ago, my dosage doubled. I lost 20 lb and haven’t taken protonix now for 2 months!

omeprazole helps my gerd more than anything, but if you want to stop taking meds i would recommend looking into the gerd diet to control your stomach acid

I have been on Protonix twice a day for 3 years in Nov. When I do not take it I have trouble digesting. I just had an Endoscopy done 2nd in 3 months. My ulcers are healed. Esophagus dilated. I was put on Protonix for GI bleed.
