What is it about Prilosec that you are refering to?  I am 28 years old TODAY (8th)and had taken Prilosec for about 4 years, and am now on Nexium.  They really don't help a whole lot, but alittle helps.  My dad has been on Prilosec for about 2 years now and is still on it.  He is 55.  Please shed some light on this if there is anything.  Also, I am very sorry that you are hurting so bad.  If you need to vent, I am here.  Thanx- Eurika

................Farewell to you all....., Ive decided to go back to my old habits, make a **** load of money (quarter of mill) to be exact, stress as hell (while hustleing for it) and drink a six pack of beer a day (which I know) will do me no good.... However, Im so god damn sick and tired of this bullshit pain, it will never go away.......... I know Ive been screwed (can you believe this ****)...........by a $20.00 (lets get as many as we can) a visit, urgent care doctor who couldnt find his *** with two hands...... Hope you all can live a bit more than I can, hell at 31, I lived well beyond most of you.................The Frank Sinatra way..................


Best of Wishes to all............

P.S. web master dont erase this message, it is not intented to steer patients away from Prilosec...........if you know what I mean.
