I found this in an article on rebound heartburn after stoppin g a ppi (heartburn medication).
"If at any time you experience bad heartburn, go back on the last dose of PPI and then resume the taper even more gradually. You may need to look for esomeprazole, omeprazole or lansoprazole in a capsule formulation. Some people trying to get off the antidepressant duloxetine (Cymbalta) have told us that they remove one bead or granule each day. It can take months to gradually wean off this medication."
