Mitch -
Interesting. I didn't know SSRI's could cause acid reflux. I'd imagine that's a fairly uncommon side effect, as opposed to things like nausea and diahrrea. And I never would have guessed Ondansetron or Remeron would treat reflux!
Do you find the ususal meds completely ineffective for GERD? Proton Pump Inhibitors like Prilosec seem pretty effective for most people, at least for awhile (more on that in a moment).
Was/is your GERD the kind with the classic heartburn and fire-in-the-throat symptoms, or of a different nature? I'm curious because even though Prilosec has been a "wonder drug" for me for years, for the last few months I've been suffering from this out-of-control, relentless, feel-like-I'm-choking-to-death postnasal crap, and the ENT guys swear it's due to GERD -- even though the classic burning and piercing sensations are rarely in evidence anymore and I'm down 40 pounds.
