My GI prescribed 10 mg of Buspar which is an older anti-anxiety med. I tried it for a month. I noticed a small difference in my globus at times, but it was never significant. The side effects were...
Zelda, I agree with you 100%. The doctor didn't seem all that confident about the Buspar to me. I think he felt he needed to offer something. Sometimes, I think they don't know what to do themselves...
Well, I took the Buspar 5 mg 2x a day for about a month ( along with the 40 mg omeprazole), and I decided not to refill the rx. I stopped last Monday. Other than periodic headaches and some mild...
Thanks,everyone, for the feedback. It helps to know that I am not the only one dealilng with this. I had the barium swallow last year before I was referred to the GI and it was normal. At that time,...
Well, I went back to GI for f/u appt after endo. The endo showed some inflammation of the lower esophagus, but everything else looked normal. The biopsies did not show anything. He said as I did not...
Erica, my biopsies from the EGD were OK also. Other than the inflammation he saw during the procedure, that leaves me a little in the dark too. My esophagus is irritated and I have a lump in my...
KitKat, our cases sound similar and I think you answered my thread. I had an Endo on 06/06. This showed irritation in my lower esophagus, but my biopsies did not show anything and everything else...
I have noticed that I have had flare-ups of lower back pain at least twice while taking Prilosec-once in Dec and again recently after this endo and RX for 40 mg Prilosec. Heat and advil (sparingly)...
My follow-up is 07/09. I took Dexilant for a month prior to the endoscopy and he switched me to generic Prilosec 40 mg because of the cost. As Dexilant didn't affect the lump, it wasn't worth the...
Erica, I can't speak to ths personally as I opted out of Dexilant after the samples due to the cost (it didn't do anymore for my throat than the others). I did see people talk about using the site...
KitKat, I am in your shoes. I wish I had an answer. All of the acid reducers help with my other heartburn symptoms (burping,chest tightness). I am on 40 mg Prilosec now. None of them help with the...
Thanks for the input.. Spec260, Thanks for your good wishes. I definitely know how you feel and I hope they have answers for you too. Skitt, I think your're right and I have mixed emotions. The EGD...
I had an Endoscopy last week and my follow-up is 07/09. The doctor took biopies to check for infections. Do you think the office would call before my follow-up if the biopsies showed anything? I...
Wow, you have touched the very thing that I worried about before the test! I knew the doctors couldn't really help you without the test, but it is frustrating when they say nothing in the findings is...
I guess my results must be typical. Hoped somone would have some insight. I guess I will hold on to see what Dr. says at follow-up appt....
Finally overcame some of my time constraints (I am a caregiver to disabled child) and concerns about funds and went to GI (had referral from PCP).I tried Dexilant for a month per his RX. It worked...
Thanks for the feedback- you have already helped me! I confess as soon as I had throat symptoms, I leaped on the idea that an ENT would be able to figure it out and make it stop ( I am way out there...
Hi everyone! I have been lurking for awhile and recognizing myself in some of you. I never had trouble with indigestion until 2010 when I started having gas,pressure in chest and shoulder blades and...
