Flames in chest and throat! PPI rebound???

Hi All,

I have been sick since January and finally figured out I had irritable larnyx/esophagus. Amitriptyline is helping to heal it. Unfortunately, I was put on 2 30mg prevacid a day for a few months and I've been slowly weaning off of it. I don't think I ever needed it. Before this, I had heartburn a few days a week and a zantac would wipe it out.

So I've been tapering. I'm down to about 1/4 of a pill and my heartburn is through the roof. I feel like my chest and throat are on FIRE. Nothing is helping...gaviscon, DGL, aloe, zantac, chewing gum, etc. I've never felt anything like this.

I upped my dose back up this morning to 1/2 to see if that would help and it hasn't. Is this rebound?? Or could it be something else? How did you get through it? How long does it last?

Thank you!
