Dear Dr. Eisner,
I have been taking Protonix for some time now. It is not helping my acid reflux. I have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia. Yesterday I told my doctor that I had heartburn 13 times in the month of March and that it did not seem the Protonix was working. He said before he gave me a different prescription he wanted me to try taking a double dose of Protonix. (I am taking 40 mg.) So yesterday morning I took a pill and then took another at dinner time. I think I had the worse symtoms that I've had. They began right when I got into bed and continued ALL night despite taking numerous Mylanta tablets. Should I take the pills both at the same time? Should l give up and say I want a different prescription? I'm not getting any sleep and it is so frustrating!!!
