He takes Morphine 3x daily, Percoset 4-6x daily, Amatiza 1x daily, Celexa 1x daily, Symbalta 2x daily, Atenelol 1x daily (which he takes due to the medications raising his heart rate, which they wont cover). Ugh I cant think of the other two he also takes.
Anyway, if anyone has ANY info or links to info that says these medications can cause acid reflux, heartburn, GERDS I could really use the help. I dont know how to find specific info on this. Thanks

Hi MarriedtoRSD,
Sorry to here your husband is having this problem. There are many drug information web sites. What I do or used to do is google each medication and you will get tons of hits or go t a CVS.com or Walgreens.com the bigger chains have good information on medications. Personally I prefer googling each one because you might come across a study or somethng you would not find on a store site.
And good luck with your WC issues. There are many people on this fourm who deal with WC and I sometimes can't believe what people are put through. I had a Personal Injury Case and that was bad enought or at least I thought at the time it was. What I here you have to really push with WC. I'm sure someone will post something about it.
This fourm is just a great source of information.
Good Luck
