Yes: You don't mention what side effects you're having from Prilosec. Generally PPI's are safe and well tolerated. If you are not able to take Prilosec, though, there are others that can be tried. If for some reason you're not able to tolerate PPI's in general, there are other medications, such as Zantac, (ranitidine) which can be tried, although they tend to be less effective. Talk to your doctor. Good luck.
