Trying to wean off ppis and getting v bad rebound pain - any ideas how long for this pain to subside and be more manageable?

Do not wean: Are you weaning with the consent of your doctor. Your underlying problem could be of permanent nature and you may need some medication life long. Consult your prescribing physician and only wean with his consent.
