A member asked:
A gastro put me on prilosec otc years ago. told me i should always take it. what if my gerd resolved? can i ever get off it? how? without rebound?

Yes: You should be able to! Take a break from it and see how your symptoms do. This is presuming there was not another indication for taking it such as previous stomach bleed or on another medication which indicates that you should be on it.
