The points emphasized in my acupuncture treatment were the stomach and esophogus area. But always needles were inserted on the inside of my knees, and the webbing below my big toe. Sometimes needles were inserted in my upper back. It will probably take a long time to wean yourself off the prevacid. It took me over a year to get off the prilosec. I went from 40mg a day to 20 mg a day - then had a several weeks of heartburn (used tums, gum, hard candy to help alleviate); after heartburn subsided went to 20 mg Prilosec every other day - more heartburn, etc, then 20 mg every third day - more heartburn, etc, then 20 mg every fourth day - more heartburn, etc. Eventually no prilosec, VERY LITTLE heartburn which can be relieved by tums, hard candy, or gum.
