Have to wean myself off PPI but very sick and depressed..Any advice? :(

Hi there..5 years ago I was diagnosed with H.pylori and had a triple therapy to eradicate it.
I felt slightly better but never OK after that...I got then some parasite and needed Metradinazole to eradicate it... Anyway to make the long story short, since then I suffered from acid reflux and was diagnosed with chronic reflux oesophigitis and duodenitis...
I was treated many times with PPI but I stopped them for a year and was doing not so bad without them... Then since the beginning of this year, I got a parasitic infection and the medication made my reflux flare up like crazy... Since then I was given rounds of PPI and I feel pretty much worse on them..
I went to the doctor and he ran some tests and gave me another dose of PPI... So for the past 7 months I've been on them...
I decided that I should stop them since the doctor told me to use them for another 2 months (which are almost over) but I still have terrible heartburn and my digestion is really bad... it's like the food stays in my stomach for hours and doesn't get digested at all...I tried weaning myself off PPI this week and I got the worst acid rebound ever... I eat very healthily since this started and I gave up almost everything...I can't even drink water...I informed my doctor but he doesn't seem concerned at all and doesn't believe the "acid rebound" issue.. I tried lowering my dose into 10mg with no use...I don't know what to do, I feel so depressed and frustrated and I'm losing a lot of weight...
I can't sleep anymore and this all makes me anxious and just so frustrated... Any advice on how to wean myself would be appreciated... Thanks..

Hi Bluek90, I did my share on the PPI for 6 weeks. From omneprazole to pantoprazole higher mg. I stopped taking it July 24. It was giving me a bad side effects and I just got better for a weak. The rest were just an agony. Everyday I had a acid attack. Lost 15 lbs for 6 weeks and that's from not eating or nothing goes in. Everything hurts. No remedies had worked. Acid rebound is not an easy thing to deal with. My doctor told me to continue on the meds/PPI. I wean on my own well and God's grace. I took Zantac 150mg 3 x a day for a week after the PPI, then 3 weeks once a day on Zantac. I have a logbook and on a strict diet. I'm keeping tract on what I ate and what portion. The diet helps and drinking Yakult after each meal and probiotic pills at night. I still have sour and bitter taste on some part of the day but been off PPI (July 24) and Zantac (3 days ago). I eat small portion every 3 hrs. At night is tough coz I get hungry middle of the night. I drink warm water with Boost(Vanilla flavor) to feel me up and 2 scopes f rice. I just make sure my stomach gets feed. I have a recliner so I can relax while waiting for my food to digest. For three days now was taking magnesium Oxide 250 mg. It seems to help.

God bless.

Blue, a couple of things u could try. First is to start Zantac as u ween off to control acidity. Also have u been tested for gastroparesis? It is where the stomach is slow to empty, I am an an antidepressant mirtazapine which is helpful for it. Lastly u should try a supplement called pepzin Gi, it helps coat the stomach and I find it good for nausea and a sensitive stomach. Take it 4x a day and directly before bed, may help.
