Hey Monster,

About the Prevacid thing...now, definitely be careful about this and go over your meds with a pharmacist before following my advice (if you decide to), but Prevacid is in the same class of medications as Priolsec, which is now sold over the counter. I take Prilosec every day, as I have some degree of GERD (my mom was kind enough to pass that on to me and both of my brothers). It comes with two weeks worth of doses, and if it works I recommend going to Sam's Club (or one of the places like that) to buy a big package that comes with enough for six weeks of doses.

That way, you don't have to ask for a prescription if you don't want to. As I said, however, you need to be careful because of all of your other medications. So discuss the possibility of interactions with your pharmacist. As a matter of fact, it can't hurt to find a drug interaction thing on the web and type in all of your medications to see, which will give you an idea if it's even feasible to ask!

Love,
Bets
