Getting off PPI’s

I have been on PPI’s for 15 years with all its ups and downs. Seemed to finally be settling with diet awareness etc so decided to start to wean myself. Finally got off PPI after about 6 weeks but then the nausea, belching and bloating with hyper GI motility started. It was so bad that I went back on a lower dose PPI and symptoms went away. 6 months later—-Second time weaning I finally got off PPI’s but took a Pepsid every night before bed. All seemed sort of ok then after a month stopped the pepsid. Slowly but surely the nausea, bloating and hypermotility has returned. I find the nausea almost debilitating. Does anyone have any advice? Anyone out there been on PPI’s this long?

I've been on PPIs since they came out, maybe 30 years? For me, weaning off always has one outcome - pain. A switch to weaker medications like Pepcid also fails. I'd rather not take the PPI but if you are feeling so ill I would think it is better to take the medication. Fortunately I have no PPI side effects, so I'm not sure what the ups and downs are that you experienced.
