Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux

I m a 35 year old female who has had issues with acid reflux for most of my life and it runs in my family. I ve done a good job of eliminating things from my diet that irritate it and it hasn t been much of an issue the last few years. Recently, my doctor put me on Adderall 10mg IR after the Strattera I used to take wasn t working out anymore. While I am getting really good results with things like focus, impulse control and task completion, I am having digestive issues from it as well. I went a couple of days without the Adderall to make sure that was triggering the symptoms and I think it is. I m burping almost all the time while it is in my system, have some acid reflux and have a lot of gas in my system that is causing me to feel bloated and achy in my midsection. Is there anything I can take OTC for this and space it apart a few hours from when I take the Adderall? It s doing so much good for me that I don t want to abandon it unless side effects are more severe. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks. -M

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to acid reflux.

I recommend using antacids such as Mylanta daily.

I also recommend using over the counter medication to reduce the acidity in the stomach such as Prilosec.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
