Pins and needles everywhere.I had swelling on my hands | I wouldn't want this medication ever again. It's making it unbearable. | 29 | 2 months 20 1X day | 11/17/2020 | 2 | Acid Reflux | Cured my reflux but not happy with side effects. Terrible pain under ribs and mid back pain. Muscle and joint pain. Feeling off balance. Foggy vision. Vibrating feeling inside my body. | No problens noticed for first few years of taking it but after 5 years on it i'm now experiencing side effects. | F | 57 | 5 years 20mg 1X day | 11/11/2020 | 2 | Acid reflux | Dose was fine at 10 mg. Upped to 20mg 5 months ago. Noticed Vision issues, head pain, aches. Muscles feel like they want to lock up and shaking internally. Belly issues. This works good for the acid, but wreaks havoc in many other ways. I felt like I was going to die when it hits me hard. It does go away but getting side effects more often. I am stopping this med today. | M | 41 | 1 years 20mg 1X day | 11/11/2020 | 4 | Possible GERD | Constant left rib area pain that radiates | I think it worked wonderfully for my possible GERD diagnosis. I am now connecting my weird painful rib cage symptom with it though which is concerning. I noticed immediate stomach aches again after stopping my one month prescription. So at least it worked for something! | F | 25 | 30 days 20 1X day | 11/5/2020 | 1 | LPR | Muscle pain and spasms, headaches, ear pain, sinus problems, blurry vision and difficulty swallowing. | M | 63 | 3 months 20 mg 2X day | 11/3/2020 | 1 | Possible GERD | Dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, stomach and intestinal pain, rib and back pain. | M | 27 | 6 days 20mg 1X day | 10/31/2020 | 1 | Acid reflux | Severe anxiety, closed off narrow vision And heart was beating irregular | I didn't feel better till after 2 weeks after stopping taking this I hope that they recall this and it gets banned. | M | 20 | 3 days 30mg 3X day | 10/31/2020 | 1 | Ulcer | Stomach pain, gas, rib pain, sharp back pains, muscle twitching | I had no problems in the beginning then all the sudden I'm getting back pains, rib pains, gas bubbles in my stomach. I got tested for H Pylori and it came back negative and the doctor still put me on them. Today is the last day I will be on this poison | M | 56 | 3 months 20 1X day | 10/28/2020 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Severe anxiety and panic attacks! Belching, loss of appetite, constipation, chills, drowsiness/fatigue,trembling, blurred vision, confusion, flushing, increased sweating. | Worked well in subduing my acid reflux. However,after for 3-4 days of taking it, I noticed that I have heightened anxiety. I admit I'm stressed from some physical issues and maybe with work, but I've never had anxiety or panic attacks at this level and it's also constant/continuing, lasting for several hours! It has greatly affected my performance at work and how I function at home. During one of the rare reprieve from the attacks (usually in the evening), I gave it some thought and looked back when this all seem to have started and I am definite it was when I began to take this medication. I stopped taking it just yesterday and already felt a difference. Today is the 2nd day I am off it but I'm still getting attacks especially upon returning to work and I'm swamped with emails and struggling to organize my thoughts and tasks. I don't know if it's still the side effects or has it triggered something in me that I now have to deal with anxiety and panic disorder long after the medication has left my system (I wonder if anyone can provide me with information on how long this takes). Omeprazole may work for others but for me, it has made my life a living hell. I'm also glad I found this site because it may have given me a closure of why I've been experiencing this. | M | 48 | 18 days 20 MG 1X day | 10/26/2020 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Abdominal pain. Belching. Gurgling bowels. Low mood. Anxiety verging on depression. Racing thoughts. Brain fog. Nausea. | Have had these before with same side effects. So glad I found this site as I was sick with worry. Going to try natural remedies as these tablets only exacerbate an already existing issue. | M | 46 | 7 days 20 1X day | 10/25/2020 | 2 | Possible gerd | Anxiety,low mood,fatigue,i don't feel like myself | I have taken this briefly. I am going to stop taking it starting from tomorrow.i have depression,i feel like I'm going backwards.i will try lifestyle changes. Its not worth the side effects. | F | 44 | 4 days 20 MG 1X day | 10/7/2020 | 1 | Suspected GERD | The list is endless. Restlessness, serious constipation, major anxiety and panic attacks, brain fog almost like there is something moving in your brain and your head ain't yours. Insomnia, shaking on the inside. I just feel horrible overall. I have stopped the damned drug hopefully I get back to normal ASAP. | Please avoid this drug. Natural remedies. Will be purchasing a digestive enzyme and probiotics to help. | M | 36 | 2 days 20mg 1X day | 10/4/2020 | 1 | Acid reflux | Most terrible experience of my life. I felt nauseous, dizzy, shaking, shivers, fever, and more. Felt like I was having an out of body experience or like I was in a dream (more like a nightmare) head felt heavy and full. Eyes were focusing and then blurring constantly. ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. Could barely walk in a straight line led alone walk or stand at all. So unmotivated and suicidal thoughts. | Please be careful, if you feel any symptoms get in contact with a medical professional immediately! | F | 16 | 2 days 20mg 1X day | 9/30/2020 | 1 | Gerd | I have crohn's disease caused bad stomach pain and very low sodium and really bad heads | Drug is awful | F | 53 | 3 years 20mg 2X day | 9/17/2020 | 1 | Acid reflux heartburn | Hard time breathing, shakes, loss of appetite, rib pains , back pain, chest heaviness, increase heart rate, anxiety. | F | 46 | 30 days 8 mg 4X day | 8/21/2020 | 2 | 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. At last shortness of breath. I took 2 Covid tests on the second and third month and both came out Negative. I stopped taking Omeprazole also know as Prilosec. I change the way I eat and little by little I started to feel better. | If your doctor prescribe you this medication you should take it but once you start feeling this side effects tell your doctor. It could be the Medication or you have something else. | M | 26 | 5 months 20mg 1X day | 8/15/2020 | 1 | Acid Reflux | Cold feet, numb fingers, arm pain, panic attacks, palpitations, moody, high blood pressure, nightmares, headaches...you name it!! | This is my second time trying omeprazole. I decided to give it a second try after enduring crazy side effects the first time after a 4 day battle with really bad heartburn due to a food allergy. I had to go back and forth with my doctors and request certain test because I was not set on having GERD. Come to find out I am allergic to the top 8 allergens. All of which I have been consuming. Wheat has been giving me the biggest issue. I have yet to be seen by a Gastro doctor and will not except the diagnosis until I am seen by one. All in all I suspect EOE to be my issue and will be going to a gastro in two weeks. I hope they do not try to put me on this drug again. It is terrible!!!!!! I have been to the hospital a dozen times within the last 4 months. Do not let these doctors feed you drugs without a proper diagnosis. Also be aware of this poison!!! | F | 33 | 8 days 20mg 1X day | 8/15/2020 |
