Do I have to taper off Prevacid?

I have only been on it for a little over a month. It seems to be causing sever constipation and my GI doctor said I really don't need to be on it after an endoscope. I was going to switch to an H2 blocker and if absolutely need be Prilosec as I have not had that side effect with this drug. Anyone know if I can just stop or should I be opening the capsule and removing some granules and such?
