cheryl if you have bad acid or LPR you definately need 2 PPI"S a day, i would go with just nexium, for me pepcid helped more than prevacid, i find that nexium works much better after not eating for 3 months i went through so much stress, and the acid got worst, tot he point that i got scared because i almost choked on food, it was stuck in my throat and then i developed a fear of choking, out of fear i stopped eating and had to take celexa that relived the fear quickly and i could eat again, and then i started taing the 2 nexiums and i have gotten great results from it, the acid has calmed down, in the morning its worst so i try to eat something upon awakeing, I however i did get nauseaus from a slimfast shake,and i did throw up 2 nights ago and now my throat is irritated but thanks god the fear is not there aymore, the fodo is going down slow but at least uts going down.
