My daughter is 17 months old. She was on Prevacid Solu-tabs for 16 months (15 mg a day for 9 of those months, 30mgs a day for three months, then back to 15 mgs). As per the Pediatric GI, we have weaned her off the meds. We tried at 12 months, but she wasn’t ready. I have searched in this post information about the so-called rebound effect, as a result of prolonged use of PPIs, but have not found any information on the subject.

What is the time it typically takes for the rebound effect (overproduction of stomach acids upon the discontinuation of a PPI) to disappear?

Any information on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there. I don’t remember the exact answer to your question. But I do remember Joel from Marci-kids saying that even though there might be an initial rebound effect where there’s increased acid production, if they don’t need the meds anymore (i.e. if the reflux is truly not a problem) then the increased acid should not be a problem since it will stay in the stomach.
