There are lots of alternatives, but omeprazole (Prilosec) is often a reasonable choice. I was on it for a long time for maintenance. When it began to lose effectiveness I switched to pantoprazole. That, too will probably lose effectiveness at some point.

One thing to watch out for with Prilosec is an acid rebound when it’s time to stop (this probably isn’t unique to Prilosec). I honestly don’t know if two months is long enough to cause this, but the worst reflux I’ve ever had was when I was trying to stop Prilosec - I ended up backing off very, very, slowly, and was more successful when I replaced it with Zantac temporarily. Zantac (the original one) is no longer available, but it had no rebound. Tagamet would probably work similarly to Zantac, if it turned out to be necessary. YMMV.
