I was on prilosec for 20+ years. Long story short, I lost 45 lbs. (on purpose) and just decided one day to stop taking it to see what happened. I haven't taken it since, have had no acid reflux, didn't have any side effects from stopping, and all is good. Sometimes when you don't know what you don't know, things turn out pretty well. I didn't know at the time that I should have checked with my Dr. before stopping the med.
