| 1 | Acid reflux | Anxiety cant sleep for long bad dreams.nervous | Blurred vision muscle pain | F | 80 | 7 days 10mg 1X day | 9/27/2020 | 1 | Acid reflux | I am glad I read other review. I feel terrible and anxiety and I quite after day 13 and now is day 2 since I quit but still having stomach cramp badly and constipated bad. I don't know when Prilosec will get off of my body? Does anyone know? I am having stomach cramp and bloated too. | F | 49 | 13 days 20 1X day | 9/24/2020 | 1 | Gastritis | After 3 days of use severe stomach pain, instant diarrhea and severe burning diarrhea. Second attempt at trying this med, same results. | Not for me. Terrible experience both times | M | 67 | 3 days | 9/19/2020 | 1 | Gastritis | After 3 days of use severe stomach pain, instant diarrhea and severe burning diarrhea. Second attempt are trying this med, same results. | Not for me. Terrible experience both times | M | 67 | 3 days | 9/19/2020 | 1 | Suspected gastritis | Little to no libido, intrusive thoughts, brain fog, slight depression, insomnia, slight hallucinations, slight emotionless | I should've never took this medication. I do not feel like myself while currently taking this medication. It helps my stomach issue a little but the side effects make it not worth it. Before I started this medication my sex drive was hyper and had no problem getting turned on. Now Im having trouble getting aroused. Also I believe this medication is disrupting my emotions. A couple days ago I was telling my lover how much I was in love with them now I could barely feel anything to anyone. I can not wait to stop this medication and return back to myself!!!! | F | 25 | 1 months 20 1X day | 9/19/2020 | 1 | Ulcers and Gerd | Nausea, lightheaded ness, dizziness, anxiety, depression, tingling in left arm, grogginess, trouble concentrating, diarrhea, headache | Was told to take twice a day for two weeks and then once a day for two more weeks. I started feeling lightheaded and dizzy fairly early in the first week, and then halfway in to week two the nausea and diarrhea really kicked in. I stopped taking it about a day ago, but I'm still pretty nauseous and lightheaded. Really hoping the side effects go away soon. | F | 33 | 11 days 20 mg 2X day | 9/19/2020 | 1 | GERD heartburn | Insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, perception problems, heaviness in body, lack of appetite, depression, hopelessness, fear of dying, lack of good emotions, irritability, diarrhea, heart palpitations | I have been taking Prilosec as needed for 4 years, sometimes 3 times a week or 2 times a month, it depended on how bad my acid reflux got. I never seemed to have any of these problems before. I noticed 2 months ago I started feeling light headed and very weak while falling asleep which was causing me anxiety, then 2 weeks later I had a terrible panic attack after eating, the feeling of body heaviness and light headedness. I then continued every day to wake up with dread and a gut feeling of something isn’t right. Cried everyday for 7-8 hours straight. Couldn’t eat due to no desire to, diarrhea started out yellow, this all continued for 3 weeks until after I stopped taking ALL my medications in hope it was side effects. I went to 3 doctors and none told me to stop Prilosec, they all thought I was crazy or acting dramatic about these symptoms. I was stupid last night and felt such horrible acid reflux and heartburn that I went ahead and took one Prilosec at 3am, woke up feeling all these terrible symptoms all over again. I never fully recovered after a month, but was seeing some improvement but now it’s all back. Will I ever be normal again? Did I just undo everything I’ve worked towards this month by taking one tablet? | F | 24 | 0 years 20mg 1X AN | 9/16/2020 | 1 | Gerd | I only took this medicine for 3 days and started to have severe anxiety. I've always had mild anxiety, but I've never in my life been depressed. Lately I've been feeling super depressed, and have lost all interest in my normal hobbies. I've been off the medicine for for 5 days now and I still get super anxious and don't have any interest. I'm hoping it will get better I'm due time. Wouldn't recommend this at all. | M | 28 | 3 days 1X day | 9/13/2020 | 1 | Suspected stomach ulcer | Severe anxiety, brain fog, intrusive thoughts, depression, insomnia, heart palpitations, crying spells, hopelessness, emotionless, | Have not felt like myself ever since I started taking this drug. Feeling like I'm going crazy. I've been off of it for about 4 weeks now and am slowly seeing improvements but still feeling a lot of anxiety, brain fog, and just an out of body feeling. Wouldn't recommend this drug to anyone. Would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me if they've been feeling like this and how long it took to feel normal again! | M | 16 | 10 days 20 2X day | 9/12/2020 | 1 | Chronic nausea and vomiting | Increased nausea, upset stomach, foggy head, headaches, anxiety, depression, appetite loss, heart palpitations, chest spasms, eye sensitivity, grogginess | I started a 12 day treatment of Prilosec OTC as prescribed by my G.I. for chronic nausea and vomiting in the mornings. I didn't notice any positive changes and by the second day my stomach was feeling worse that usual. By the fourth day I was in a fog and couldn't focus even though I take Adderall for A.D.D. I noticed that driving felt strange because my sense of time was off. Driving places seemed quicker than usual and almost unreal, sometimes even forgetting if I had stopped at the stop sign I just passed. By the fifth day I felt on the verge of puking and had the worst debilitating headache. After looking up "Prilosec headaches" I found this page and saw that everyone had the same negative side effects that I was experiencing. I'm grateful I did too, because I would've suffered through the rest of the 12 day treatment if I continued using Prilosec. | F | 21 | 5 days 20 MG 1X day | 9/10/2020 | 1 | Eosinophilic esophagitis | I suffered extreme lethargy as well as severe diarrhea and projectile vomiting. I went to ER because I was so desperately ill. All tests came back normal. | I will never take this drug again. | F | 60 | 4 days 10 | 9/9/2020 | 1 | Heartburn Gerd symptoms | Anxiety. Heart racing. Tingling in legs. Burning in arms and legs. Headaches. Chest pain | F | 56 | 14 days 30mg 1X day | 9/7/2020 | 1 | GERD | hell On earth it should be named, on on for 28 days for reflux and the anxiety and palpitations to the point I could not sleep, terrible stomach pain and diarrhoea, tingling in leg, did not urinate for 28 hours and tiredness all the time and more, been off for 7 days and still feel like absolute hell, I am anxiety sufferer anyway and thought it was just like taking a better version of anti acid tablets, omg how wrong was I. If anyone wants to email me feel free but made me feel better reading these comments as thought it was just me so doctor google has helped this time, it was hard to find this site as in the uk the evil drug is called Omeprazole | For me been totally hell | M | 47 | 28 days 20 1X day | 9/3/2020 | 1 | GERD | Brain fog, dizziness, light headedness, eye sensitivity when looking at phone or tv, tingling all over head, face, arms and legs | When I first started on this medicine it worked wonders on GERD with very few side effects. After about 8 months I began to ween off and it was going well. I ended up having some symptoms return and began taking the medicine every day again. As soon as I did that, I started having the horrible side effects. I saw the GI and he recommended I ween off again. I have been off the meds for about 10 days now and the symptoms haven’t really gone away. The tingling in my head and face is new and began as is started to ween off. Has anyone else experienced this? Please email if you have. | M | 32 | 11 months 40 MG 1X day | 8/23/2020 | 1 | Acid reflux | Full blown painc attacks, a lot of anxiety, startling awake, headaches, dizzyness, burning chest, twitchy shoulder thing going on | I was back on Prilosec because my Zantac is all gone and after using my back up supply from my husbands medicine cabinet which were out of date but still a Godsend i decided to give Prilosec another try as i used to use Prilosec about 3 years ago. So now i am having panic attacks again all of a sudden, first time in about 3 years and dizziness, headaches, weird shoulder twitchy thing, being woken up from a deep sleep startled and a tad disoriented, racing heart from anxiety, chest burn when i have never had chest burn ... i dunno, just lots of weird scary stuff that I NOW know is this medication because i have experienced all this before but it was 3 years ago and i never put two and two together until my husband said last night " you were sick like this a few years ago" Last time i took Prilosec i was on it a while something like 6 months if i remember correctly, this time its only been 3 days and i feel like a broken person. Obviously im not going to take anymore but will have to have a hard think about what to take instead. After my Zantac ran out i was ok for about 5 days then my symptoms came back....i have the issue where bread and fries and dryish foods get stuck in my food pipe and cause immense pain when trying to eat a meal. Heartburn and indigestion so bad sometimes its like a heart attack Was prescribed Xanax 3 years ago too! Coincidence? I think not but still had some in the pill jar which i had nearly thrown out in April when i do my Spring | M | 53 | 3 days 20 1X day | 8/22/2020 | 1 | Acid reflux | First month taking it I started feeling good on my stomach. Second month I started feeling anxiety and chest pain. Later came rapid heart beats and panic attacks. Numbness on my right hand, arm and feet, also I would wake up in the middle of night because I couldn't breathe. At last shortness of breathe during the day. So I took 2 Covid tests thinking I had Covid on the second and third month and both came out Negative. I stopped taking Prilosec also know as Omeprazole. I change the way I eat and now I'm taking natural remedies and little by little I started to feel better. | If your doctor prescribed you this medication you should take it helps at first and each body is different but if you get this bad side effects talk to your doctor about it could be the medication or you have something else. But personally I don't recommend this medication I thought I was going crazy will all chest pain and weird feelings. | M | 26 | 5 months 20mg 1X day | 8/16/2020 | 1 | Possible heartburn | Headache, numbness in mostly right arm, general feeling of sickness, difficulty concentrating, heart palpating, anxiety, sometimes increased heart rate, some shortness of breath | Stopped about 2mo ago still having issues. Anxiety and palpitation better.but still have weird headaches, head pressure, numbness and tingling in right arm and now right leg, general I'll feeling. Been to MD and ER nothing found. Even had CT scan in ER. Nothing. Symptoms go away and come back often. So so sorry I took this med. I just want to feel normal again. Anyone figured anything out? Please help! | F | 39 | 30 days 40mg 1X day | 8/11/2020 | 1 | Taking for extreme heart burn | Panic attacks, anxiety, confusion, lack of concentration, helplessness, felt like I wasn't getting enough air, no motivation, extreme tiredness, racing thoughts, insomnia, irritation and anger, general sick feeling. | Took Prilosec off and on for over a year. This is the worst feeling I have ever had. Didn't know what was happening to me. All blood tests came back normal from Primary care, ER, heart and lung doctors. No one said it could be Prilosec. I stopped taking it 4 weeks ago. The acid came back hard. Eating all organic tiny meals, no spice, no acidic foods. It's working. Eating melons and saltine crackers to help with acid. Every couple of days Extra strength Alka Seltzer.Getting through it. Feeling better everyday. Not that sick feeling all day long. It's a process. Taking 10 mg Inderal 2 to 3 x daily to help with the panic attacks. Prilosec made me feel I was going crazy. I'm still having some side effects but every day is better. Some days I feel great again. Hang in there...everyone's recovery is different. | 70 | 1 years 20 mg 1X day | 8/8/2020 | 1 | Lhd | Joint & muscle pain | M | 64 | 3 months 20 1X day | 7/28/2020 | 1 | Gastric erosion | Joint pain in legs, hips, shoulders. Low mood, anxiety. Overwhelming fatigue. | I have been prescribed this drug a few times now and realize it is no coincidence that I get these symptoms when taking it. Frankly I would rather have the heartburn and GERD. I now use alternative medicines. | F | 64 | 100 days 20mg 1X day | 7/23/2020 |
