It's been about a month now, or a little less. At first, to get everything under control, I took 80mg for the first two weeks. 40 at breakfast and 40 at bedtime. The first two weeks were hell and I was so tempted to stop like I ALWAYS do, but figured it's got to be worse in order to get better. So I stayed with it and ate a very liquid diet as I found it hard to digest solids on 80mg of PPI's. By the end of the two weeks I was GREAT! I started eating everything! Slowly though. I know can eat what ever I'd like and the burning is gone. After the two weeks on 80, I cut it back to 40. Still fine. X I plan on taking it for another couple of weeks. Eight being the max and I'll stop. Why do you ask? Have you tried the protonix before, or are you thinking about trying it? Hope this helps ;) Jenn
