User Reviews for omeprazole oral

with in 2 days of taking this medication my body stated reacting terribly to it. i've been having severe back pains, and headaches. i have not been able to sleep at all. i have managed to get about 3 hours of sleep every night since i have been on it. after reading these reveiws and seeing how many people have had these same effects i am about to stop taking it and refer to another drug. afraid of getting off of it now because any time i've missed a day of taking it i get really bad acid reflux, worse then before i was ever on this drug. if i stop taking it will my symtoms become worse??? what other drug could i take that might not react with me the way this drug has???

Dry mouth, loss of smell and taste,try to track down this problem. the other drug is amlodipne besylate 5mg alos have dry lips

After diagnosed with Hyatl Hernia and Acid Reflux was put on Omeprazole. It took away the pain I was having but after a few months I was not able to go to sleep at night and I would have itching. I stopped taking the medication and was not able to go to sleep at night without taking Melatonin for 3 months. Finally got back to normal and tried Omeprazole for 3 days and again was not able to go to sleep. I will never take this drug again.

have not had heartburn

Nothing else worked. I have got my active life back again. Extremely happy as thought I would have to give up work. Does make me lactose intolerant but that is a small price to pay.

I just wanted to add a very important note to my other note. I haven't lost my food immediately after eating a meal as I did before Omeprazole.

I was diagnosed with Hernia, Acid reflux, polops and ulcers. This has helped in the short time of use. thanks

I have acid reflux and excess stomach acid, so I was prescribed omeprazole. It didn't do a darn thing. I still had terrible acid reflux. Tums worked much better.

what are the effects of taking omeprazole and vitamin b-12 together,i was given a notice a yearago to not take the together

I have takent this quite some time after surgery and have been satisfied with no side effects. I took Protonix before and Omeprazole is fine. For those with bad conditions, see your doctor and have it fixed. I did and it worked for me. Good luck...

Yes, it is a PPI, and yes, it does help. I am taking 2x20mg each morning as soon as I awaken. It is not, however, as effective as Protonix. Like others reviewing here, my insurance (Cigna) would only cover Protonix as 3rd tier Rx, meaning approximately $40 copay per month. Omeprazole is covered as generic ($5 copay). Too bad, I really liked the Protonix. It seemed to work so much better throughout the day, and it didn't seem to have the flatulence side effects either.

I have been on this for 3 months. So far so good. I was taking prevacid, but my insurance wouldnt cover it anymore and this was the alternative drug. Plus I needed something twice a day not just before bed (thats when I took the prevacid). I get occasional heartburn and burping, but I just take 2 rolaids and with in 15 minutes I am fine. My bowel movements are smelly, but that could be from having my gallbladder removed also.

Causes TERRIBLE side effect of skin itching. Especially at night. I Don't care if it IS'NT listed as a side effect! PLUS after I had a perm to my hair - the dryness to my hair turned to small blisters to my scalp--BEWARE of mixing RX and Hair Chemicals.

Insurance wouldn't pay for protonix so I was switched. Seems to work as well. I have been on it for 2 weeks with no side effects.

HAVE HAD THE SWEAT WHILE USING IT, SINCE i STOP USING IT NO SWEATS

I love it love it love it!!!! I get the occasional heartburn, but i still like this drug. I hope that if Dr decides to stop treatment i wont have the problems mentioned in other posts. Living on Saltines for a year and dropping weight quickly makes me a lot more aware of what drugs i use. So Far So good. Been taking with hyosycamine and very happy overall.

It is so nice to feel normal again the burn is gone!
