Sorry to hear of your problem.
I think this is a question for your doctor. I'm pretty sure that two months at 40 mg/day is supposed to relieve your sf symptoms. If not, it's back to see your doctor.
Are you doing all of the lifestyle changes? Like avoiding trigger foods if you have any, not lying down within 2 hrs of eating. sleeping with bed elevated, wearing loose clothing, not smoking, losing weight if you are overweight.
These changes are an important part if your treatment. For some people with mild symptoms, this is all that's needed.
Good luck, and see your doctor.
