HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Though all medication can cause side effects, the most likely cause of acute (recent onset) urinary frequency is infection of some aspect of the urinary tract.
This can be diagnosed in office by an urinalysis and if confirmed, antibiotics would be needed.
Since all medications work differently and have different side effect profile even though they are in the same family, it may be best to try a different reflux medication if you are not comfortable with the one that you are wearing.
I hope this helps
