Prilosec and acid reflux

I have been taking Prilosec for a couple years and then my insurance company quit paying for it now I have been on the OTC and began having frequent nose bleeds and profuse sweating mostly in my right armpit...need to talk to my Doctor.If I dont take it I get acid reflux real bad...

ive been taking prilosec and generic as well as otc prilosec and all of the other acid reflux meds for over 9 years now..the prilosec is the best by far but I have stomach cramps about every year and have also developed headaches almost every day..generic doesnt cut it....i just read that you are supposed to stop taking it after so long then start again...mite be the problem

I am not talking about Prescription Prilosec, rather Prilosec OTC (over the counter). Since my insurance company raised my co-pay by leaps and bounds, I decided to try the OTC. Well, just recently I noticed my heart was fluttering. I reread the instruction to OTC and it is not to be taken every day like prescription Prilosec...only 14 days and then stop! I have exceeded that by several days. When I was first given the prescription, I went through many studies including an endoscopy which was proven that I had acid reflux.

I hope this helps someone else who might try it. I guess it's going to take a fight with the insurance company next.
