Advice & Tips
I used to have really bad acid reflux for about two years. Then, when I was at The Menninger Clinic for nine weeks to basically retrieve my life from certain doom, I learned from one of the observant nurses there, Daniel, that I didn't take my pain meds with food. He asked me if I had acid reflux and I said, yes, quite badly. So from then on I have taken my vicodin and aleve with food and my acid reflux has released me from it's fiery grip.

It is not prescribed so I take it as needed which for the past 2 weeks has been daily. It can cause stomach problems.

Due to colitis, can only take this occasionally, when the Hydrocodone causes too much constipation and down mood...then THAT has to be stopped for a few days.
