Stopping the vomitting is almost impossible which is a pain, but like you said you can try antireflux formulas (thickened formulas), or adding a food thickening agent to EBM or making that into a gel and giving it with the breasfeeds. Although there are mixed opinions on whether or not this does anything, for some people it does make a difference in the amount bub brings up.
Medication wise, most of these either help to neutralise the acid in the tummy, or some prescription ones work on to reduce the amount of acid the stomach makes..so these help significantly for the discomfort associated with having reflux, but won't have an effect on the vomitting.
