I was just prescribed this medicine by a gastroenterologist. She wants me to take 20 mgs. for the rest of my life due to finding my biopsy indicated Barratt's Esophagus (non-dysplasia). I don't have any serious 'gerd' problems but came up positive for an at home color-guard test and have another colonoscopy/endoscopy scheduled for 5/21/24. I don't think I want to take Omeprazole for the rest of my life.

full blown depression and severe anxiety, intrusive thoughts, derealization and depersonalization on this stuff. was fine before taking it 3 months ago aside from stomach issues and just now realizing there's many others who experienced the same.

I took 20mg for 2 days. The best way to describe it was "cognitive confusion" and disorientation 2 hours after taking it. Friends told me, don't over think it. What? This sounds really strange, but it felt like I was walking in a giant marshmallow. I know my body and was actually hoping this would work for me.

Dude same omfg. I tried my first pill today prescribed from my physician and I threw the rest of the bottle away! Literally making my stomach worse first of all. Second the anxiety is insane (I already have high anxiety to begin with) and the intrusive thoughts are worse, I feel like a shit person become I have harm OCD and the thoughts become more intense on this stuff. Glad someone can relate to me. My goodness

Been taking Omerprazole for several years now. Doctor wants me to gradually ween myself off of it. Won’t authorize refills. Used to take it every day. For 2 weeks reduced to Monday, Wednesday and Friday. In another week I’ll only take it Monday and Thursday. After 2 or 3 weeks I’ll take it on Mondays. Then stop altogether. So far I feel fine with no acid reflux pain like I used to get if I missed a day. It will be good to reduce my prescription meds by 1. Maybe I can work on eliminating the other three. Since I lost weight, I’ve had ideal Blood pressure for over 4 months!

I have real bad Acid Re-flux Disease and my doctor years ago put me on Omeprazole when it was only available through prescription. But then it became available over the counter and I started getting it from the store. I have been taking Omep 20 for about 15 years now and for the most part it works, but occasionally I still get bad heartburn and need to take a 2nd pill for the day. I have NEVER ever experienced any side effects, no stomach pain, no hair loss, not even foggy minded. If I were to quit taking it I would get extremely sick to the point of vomiting heartburn uncontrollably. Before I started taking it I would have heartburn shoot up into my throat while I was sleeping and it would burn my throat closed, I couldnt take a breath in, I could exhale no problem but couldnt breath in unless I went very slowly and it wasnt fast enough to get any oxygen. Its a very scary experience. I am just now hearing about people getting hurt from Omep use but its a surprise to me. Im wondering if I should taper off and use a different product or just stay as I am.????? I have a 9 year old boy who needs me to stick around for as long as I can. FYI: I usually take my Omep on an empty stomach, then I eat an hour after I take it. Sometimes I take it as I eat but mostly on an empty stomach. Maybe thats why it hasnt hurt me the way it hurt others. ??????

I have IBS and the last few years acid reflux has gotten so bad that swallowing and sleeping were severley impacted. I have been on this for a bit over two weeks after stopping Pepsid and now Omeprazale. Not only is my acid reflux disappeared, so has my IBS lower stomach pain. I feel great on this..This is so disappointing seeing how something that can make you feel so good really sucks. I tried alternative supplements and none of them worked. My choices are erosive esophagus or one of the major side effects of long term use with this drug

I took it for 5 years, had an endoscopy and they removed Fundic polyps caused by Omeprazole. While taking it for bad heartburn I experienced what I can only describe as a kind of powerful juddering in my upper torso which was weird. As the endoscopy found nothing else, I decided to take myself off it which took me sometime alternating between Rennies and Gaviscon. It took about three months to wean myself off, not a pleasant experience! After still suffering from bouts heartburn after 3 years, my heartburn problem has pretty much disappeared since lockdown. Obviously all caused by stress.

I have taken this medication for 25 years. I learnt about the side affects a few years ago. Apparently one should only take for up to eight weeks. Great medication for short term fix. I have been cutting back and take one every other day. I think it has contributed to leaky gut symptoms. I started because I got a hiatal hernia from having whiplash the third time. Do not do what I did. Know that I’m getting off of it I need to heal my stomach and my body for the reason I took it in the first place.

This is the basic B.S. Tell me something I can really use. Stop eating spicy foods, salt and don't eat too much of anything at one time. Plus watch your condiment intake. All that extra stuff you put on food so you can gulp it down. Don't feel guilty about eating food for it'll make you fat and be relaxed when eating. Everybody is stressed to the limit these days. Stress and food don't work well.

I found out that drinking Jell-O helps within seconds, but it's not a permanent solution. Also, drinking Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother once, or twice a day helps with acid reflux. (2022) I'm currently dealing with GERD, have been for months now. I haven't taken omeprazole in months, and I had to change my diet, my digestion has improved but I still can't eat chicken, I can only eat fish, and a small potion of meat, I vomit once a week. I stay away from caffeine, and carbonated drinks. I noticed my weight fluctuates, I lose or gain weight, but I mostly lose weight. Currently I'm seeing a nutritionist and it's helping a little but not much else. I have already made an appointment to see my doctor, but my cousin recommended a endoscopy procedure, or a digestive specialists. I hope this information helps you.

I was on it for years and Zantac before that . Can't digest anything now , and interesting you mention your shoulder . Terrible side effects , amazing where malabsorption can lead . All PD's have risks , in my experience very few benefits .

I took it for 10 years with statins etc i come of them now, it reduces acud too much. The acid closes the valve and stops gurd etc less acid doesnt shut the valve but splashes about and the acid attacks protective coatings in your food pipes. Which mase it difficult to stop taking. When stopping dont dring caffeine drinks ir spices alchol etc drink water fir about a month. Side effects for me, aching legs, numb feet, hot feet , but tge 4 tablets i was taking all had same side effects so makes it impossible to determine which tabket is the culprit so stopped them all gradualy .eating more fresh foods but still have my treats, statins and omaprazone stop the nutreints you eat going into the body thru the stomach. So side effects will be different for everyone depemding on what foods you eat. Cholestrol delivers thrm round the bidy like amazon round the country. Any shortages you become ill as does the country if amazon doesnt deliver . Eg

I have always said that the US has the laziest pharmaceutical industry the world. With the advances in technology medications without side effects can be made. But why are they not made? Because a perfect med doesn't make them money as opposed to one that keeps the consumer coming back for more. Think about it. That's just my humble opinion.
