I have been on nexium (esomeprazole) for five years and it just isn't working anymore is there anything i can use over-the-counter that might work?

Nexium (esomeprazole) times 5 years: I would think that it is time to get the underlying cause of this treated. Are you eating foods that do not cause gerd? Are you of an ideal weight or trying to get there? Do you smoke? That is where i would focus. Getting to not needing antacids any longer.
