I just want to tell you I understand what you're going through.  I weaned myself off of Prevacid over a 2 week period by taking one every other day (I was only on 15 mg. a day) and then at the end, would skip 2 days a couple of times and that was it!  BUT, and this was very important at least in my case, I was taking the DGL that so many have written about in these posts.  I believe this is what made my transition tolerable.  I chewed 2 before meals and sometimes before bed if my stomach was bothering me.  At first, I was concerned that I couldn't get along without the PPI, but I stuck with it and now feel surprising better!  Better at least than I did taking the Prevacid.  Best of luck and hang in there. (My pharmacist advised me how to wean myself off of it.)
