Generic Prilosec Omeprazole

The first time my doctor told me I had acid reflux, I looked at her like she had two heads. It was the same year that she hit me with arthritis,chronic back pain, and I swore I had asthma (which a year later she diagnosed as well). She recommended priolsec at first and due to my health insurance I was able to purchase it through my prescription plan. However, when I changed jobs I had to wait two months before the next health insurance plan kicked in, so I purchased a few generic priolsecs. I was flabbergasted at the price after paying a ten  dollar copay for the last three years. I looked at other generic brands as well, but refused to budge on my decision I figured Priolsec had been doing the job thus far, it made no sense to change. When I received my new health plan, they didn't accept priolsec, so my doctor changed me to Omeprazole which I'm required to take two pills instead of one throughout the day. It doesn't work as well as the generic prilosec did, but I was back to my ten dollar co-pay so I figured who was I to complain. While shopping for groceries and other miscellaneous items, I have the tendency to look at  the generic omeprazole and shake my head stating" thank god for this ten dollar copay, otherwise, I would be spending a pretty penny just to keep my food down."
