A member asked:
I have been taking protonix for diagnosed gerd. i am planning on weening off of the medication soon. if my heart burn comes back even though i implement good life style changes, what should the next step be?

That is where is important to time and pace the weaning under your treating doc’s supervision. There are other drugs that can be used for limited amounts of time, not as strong as PPI’s. Lifestyle changes will be best in the long range.
