Why is nothing working?

well, if Dr Phillips said 30 mg and she is on 20, then her dose is too low. nothing seemed to work for my son until we followed Dr Phillips dosing recommendations.

The same thing happened with Myles. He did not get any lasting relief until he was on the right dose; 10 mg / 3 times daily. Too little just won’t work.

Good luck. I hope you can get her dose increased.

You wouldn’t be the first to do that. I tried a higher dosage with Myles and sure enough it worked, but then I still had to convince his doctor because the prescription wouldn’t last the whole month. It’s so frustrating because the answer is right there but you don’t have the control; the doctors do.

With Myles the right dose made a significant difference pretty quickly (2 or 3 days) but the full effect didn’t ocurr until around day 10.

I did it and blamed it on dh. I said that he didn’t realize that I’d already given it to her, so he gave it to her as well. Then I said that she’d seemed so much better that we decided to try it again on purpose and things were going so well now that I just hated to try going back down. We got lucky and he agreed to write the prescription for the higher dose. Fortunately we had samples from the GI so we had enough to try it for a few days without it causing a problem.

Kaelyn was on prevacid before marci kids started recommending 3 doses (or maybe they were recommending it, but Joel hadn’t started posting yet, so I didn’t know about it). So, we never tried doing 3. Kaelyn had been doing 7.5 in the morning and 7.5 at night. A lot of her issues involved nightwaking, so we doubled the night time dose. If we were doing it now, I’d probably try 3 doses.
