I have GERD and have been treated very successfully with Prilosec for maybe 5 years or so. Lately, I've been finding that my stomach will start gnawing, just like I'm hungry, but I shouldn't be hungry, since I'm eating regularly. It causes me to seek out food incessantly and I'm trying to lose wait. I also wake up now periodically during the middle of the night with this feeling and it's keeping me awake.
Prilosec has worked great for me, and I haven't returned to the kind of stomach problems I had prior to treatment. This is something new. Has my Prilosec grown ineffective? Do I need a larger dose? I currently take 20 mg once a day.
