ADs generally give me stomach trouble, but I found them very effective at preventing that--protonix/pantoprazole, prilosec/omeprazole, prevacid/lansoprazole, aciphex/rabeprazole, nexium. If they don't work well enough (they're considered pretty effective, though), just raise the dose. Maybe they could make the Wellbutrin tolerable, as it sounds like it worked well for you.Yes, I tried that route, but apparently I have a predisposition to GERD that the WB set off. It took months for my reflux to settle down so Wellbutrin is out for me.
