Author Worse After Prilosec

I was taking Zantac 2-3 times a day for heartburn only. Decided to try
Prilosec OTC so I would only have to take one pill a day. Worked fine
for a while and I didn't need any Zantac. Now all of a sudden I've
gotten worse with night time reflux. Neither Prilosec or Zantac seems
to help that much. What should I do?

See your doctor. An empiric trial of prescription strength along with basic
education about GERD is a reasonable next step, as well as an EGD and
possibly ambulatory pH testing.
