I wouldn’t call this addiction because you’re not abusing this drug but using it every time you have and
experience problems with GERD.
You may become tolerant and need more and more of the drug to get rid of bad GERD symptoms but I don’t think you are psychologically addicted to it. Building tolerance can
lead to physical addiction.
Psychological addiction is the worst kind of addiction from my point of view.
But I am talking about drugs here. I don’t know how it works for medications although I know that a person may become dependent on some pain killers.
Are these drugs prescribed to be taken every two hours? Do you eat that often? If you are not getting any help from this drug, you should definitely talk to your doc about changing your treatment.
