Gerd symptoms. taking prilosec otc/20mg every night at 8pm. 5 days passed & not working. can i double up and take at morning & night for next 10 days?

See an MD: I think it is reasonable to treat run-of-the-mill heartburn with something like OTC Prilosec to see if it helps. When it does not, the problem needs to be discussed with a physician to gain assurance that it is heartburn and not something more serious.
