What should I do? Eight months ago, I stopped taking Prevacid which I had been taking for several years. Since then, I have been experiencing gastric problems and have to take Gaviscon daily.

It would be advisable to consider restarting Prevacid™, but you could try taking it in a different way than daily. For example, you could start by taking it for 1 week initially, then only when needed (up to once a day). If symptoms become more frequent again, you can take the medication regularly for 1 week, then switch back to as needed. This way, you reduce your exposure to potential long-term side effects of the medication.
