I was diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal reflux.
Dr. had me on Lansoprazole- 60 mg/day! My insurance company was unhappy with such a large dose, but I took it for two years. I complained to the Dr. that it didn't help much and could I get off it? He said "Oh no, you'll be on this the rest of your life!" After researching on the internet I decide to wean myself off. I won't say I'm cured but I am just as well off the meds, and a lot of times better than when I was on. I'm not interested in taking large doses of drugs if they aren't working!
