I have a stomach problem, but the doctors can't figure out what. For some reason, it produces too much acid which causes a whole slew of other problems if I don't do anything about it.
Anyway, I've tried antacids (Tums, Rolaids, etc.), and they work great for about an hour or so, or less if my symptoms are really bad.
I've also tried Prevacid and Prilosec (OTC). But, when I take these, I get some interesting side effects. For example, I am taking Prilosec right now and I feel as if I have drank 15 cups of coffee. My mind is going a mile a minute, and I have no desire to sleep, and if I do sleep, I have REALLY weird dreams. I had similar problems when I was taking Prevacid, but had lucid dreams with that along with REM when I closed my eyes. Some other side effects include muscle spasms and hypersensitivity to certain sounds.
Does anyone know of any other alternatives I can try, natural or otherwise, that might help with my acid problem?
