GERD
"I have tried almost every acid reducer made in the last 20 years and nothing worked until I took prevacid 30mg 2x a day. I has severe stomach pain, cramps, pain under right shoulder.  Thought I was having a heart attack.  One 30mg pill didn&#039;t do it, I still needed antacids.  Another Dr suggested 2x a day.  It worked.  It took about 4 weeks for my symptoms to go away.
I could eat anything.  Periodically I&#039;ve tried to reduce the amount by slowly reducing the mg, but symptoms always came back.  I&#039;ve tried the generic version because my insurance co would cover it at this high dose, but symptoms came back after a few months.  Generic versions are just not the same."
