famotidine.. need advice

so I've stayed away from famotidine, omeprazole etc for a while because of my experience on it before. it just didnt really work well. i managed GERD very well with life style, diet and digestive enzymes. recently i went on a trip to Florida, i made sure i had famotidine with me just in case i ate something bad for me. i mean who wants to be out of town and uncomfortable lol. long story short i went on a binge eat run for about 6 days this was during my trip and coming back home from my trip. all throughout those days i was taking famotidine. i started to notice the side effects of it and stopped taking it cold turkey. the dose of it is only 20mg & ive stopped famotidine cold turkey before and i was able to manage it. but im experiencing the rebound acid, dry mouth, sometimes a feeling of something is stuck in my throat. which is weird because i can swallow fine but it feels like im bound to choke you know? honestly tums have been helping but when does this end lol i was completely managing gerd well without medications i feel like i f'd up terribly lol. also famotidine is causing like crazy anxiety anyone else feel that way?
