Acid Reflux, OW!

About two years ago I had an upper endoscopy and was diagnosed with GERD and IBS. I was put on Aciphex and took that for about a year. Then I did something stupid and stopped seeing my gastro doc and stopped taking the Aciphex. My acid reflux didn't immediately come back though but it has now. I've seen my gastro doc and to my surprise he didn't write me another script for Aciphex. He decided to start with Nexium, twice a day. It's been about a week on the Nexium and it isn't working at all. I feel horrible. I think I will call my doctor tomorrow but I'm wondering if I should request another upper endoscopy? I mean I feel surprised he didn't want to do another one. This pain is worse than i remember from before and it's all the time, not just at night.
Any advice? Thanks

Nothing to be worried about and am just curious when I see that folks know each other. iVillage is a huge place and it is neat to see that you know people from other boards. Unfortunately many of us share health issues, along with the other stuff!
