I would love to hear what your experience with weaning off meds has been.
Gabe was on Prevacid 3 times a day. That worked so well for him that he didn’t need any other meds (Zantac, etc). He got sick early/mid January and I just wasn’t able to give him 3 Prevacid doses a day because he was nursing so much. And he seemed to do great. We were thrilled with the thought that 2 doses was fine and looked forward to decreasing his dose more. Well for the last week or so he’s been steadily getting worse. He’s GREAT all day long, even naps fine, but at nights are bad. He’s just restless, restless, restless. He wakes up crying and often crawls over to me or a pillow to be propped up. 🙁 Poor babe.
He’s 11 months, btw.
So, my question: should I go back to 3 doses of Prevacid just to be safe or should I try giving him Mylanta at night? Also, can a child really do well with weaning for so long and then all the sudden need to go back to the meds? As far as I can tell, nothing else is wrong with him.
TIA!
