I am currently on 30 mg prevacid 1x/day. I am feeling quite well - I have cahanged jobs to a more enjoyable one with less "bad" stress and have been undergoing allergy treatments which seem to take away a lot of my severe throat symptoms.
I have been thinking about tapering off prevacid - but I don't want to change my Rx to 15 mg/day in case the symptoms return. I read that prevacid can be taken by opening the capsule and sprinkling it on apple sauce. So I have been contemplating opening up the capsule and taking half with apple sauce each day.
Has anyone done this? what is your advice? I don't want to suffer with the rebound again. It happened once after completely stopping prilosec after my esophageal dilation. After that I seemed to have lost a lot of ground on healing from GERD.
Any advice?
