    I was taking pecid regularly (twice a day) for many months and it worked 3/4 of the time but i couldn't not have it or i would have had the probability of throwing up all the food i ate. I started to feel sad and felt really off mentally, it slowly got worse. I did some googling and all it was saying for side affects was the common crap and then some rare ones, but one article said that mental satus was a rare side affect but this video helped clarify that what i read was true (i stopped right away after i read the article). If anyone knows a great way to naturally prevent/stop acid reflux please comment.
