I ended up taking a Zantac about midway thru the day but that isn’t bad considering.

not bad at all. 
me, too, but ranitidine which I guess is just the generic. I should start keeping track of how often I have to take one.
I'm kind of frustrated that my reflux seems kind of random. I know it gets worse with coffee and over-eating but other than that I can't predict it. a co-worker wanted to know if dairy made it worse and...not sure.
I'm waiting until I mostly don't have any and then will reduce omeprazole another 25%. hope it happens eventually.

Do you have the head of your bed elevated? We put a brick under both of the “headboard legs” and it really helped me back when I was having reflux soon after surgery. Don’t plan to ever remove them.excellent news!
I am stuck down 25% of the dose and still having to take a bunch of tums at least maybe 1 out of 3 days. I hope it's starting to get better but not sure.
I don't, no, but I have two pillows under my head. don't have any reflux at night, however. unless I am sleeping through it? 
Okay, can’t come off completely but am still down to half my original dose.
we do what we can; it sure isn't easy with the stupid rebound acid.

Coffee and overeating are my culprits. Two cups of coffee are okay, the third cup in the afternoon always causes problems for me. Years ago a gastroenterologist told me it was the acid in coffee (and diet pop I used to drink) that were the biggest causes of acid reflux/heartburn.
