"I don't live in the USA, but I had a very bad reaction to this drug. I ended up in the hospital with a massive inflammatory condition, which we ended up assuming was responsible for inflamed eyes also. I had the same situation three times before we realized what was causing it. I have a smart watch that picked up my heart rate was exactly mimicking the level of inflammation. I am suspicious it has contributed to an aneurysm in my aorta, but no medical specialist supports my personal opinion. I had a massive ESR and CRP reading, and no one could find anything wrong until finally one doctor, who was research-oriented, started asking questions. I will never touch this drug again. I am also allergic to Augmentin/amoxicillin, which creates a rash on my shins."

"Has anyone experienced a sour/bitter burning taste in the mouth while being on Lansoprazole/Omeprazole? It happens after eating, drinking, and brushing teeth, and is worse at night and in the mornings. Has anyone had this? Please kindly reply."

"I've had heartburn for a while now that I'm 43 years old. Nothing serious, but it doesn't look nice. I'm originally from Russia, so I hoped that amazing American doctors with high salaries and exorbitantly priced pills would definitely solve the minor condition problem. Not at all! The second day of omeprazole, I felt more nervous than usual, but I thought it was just one of those days. Second day - sweating, panic attack, and almost burst into tears in a restaurant over bad American sushi. Could be funny, but third day - cooking dinner in the kitchen and crying! That all is not typical for me. I'm grateful for this site because I can repeat after one of the reviewers here - THIS IS POISON. I'm off omeprazole and not going back to the primary care physician who prescribed it. We paid $7 and insurance $100 for this garbage!"

"The medicine caused my hands and feet to burn and also caused joint pain in those areas. It really did help my indigestion, but I can't cope with the side effects. It took a couple of months for the side effects to show up."

"I suddenly developed severe gas and bloating, which persisted for about two months. My doctor prescribed omeprazole. It helped from the first day I took it. I don’t know why, but this pill has completely cured my painful bloating."

"Worst medication ever. After doing some research, I do believe I got esophagus candida from it. Got sick with probably the stomach bug, so the doctor put me on Prilosec. Took it for 3 months, couldn't get better, didn't realize all the side effects: nauseous, stomach pain, belching, gas. Can't sleep because of the nausea and even my very first major panic attack. Ended up in the hospital a month ago. My stomach was perfect, but not my esophagus, so I took my last 20 mg pill yesterday, so I hope this all goes away soon."

"I've been taking this medication daily, and it has worked wonders for my indigestion. Started waking up with hives pretty bad about once or twice a week a couple of months ago and have had some instances where my lips swell. Had to take Benadryl. Didn't realize it, but that is one of the side effects of using this medication. A little afraid to continue using it, but sure hate the thought of not using it."

"I have had terrible backaches since taking it 4 weeks ago. My doctor prescribed it when I went in because I was having terrible stomach pains and chest pains (he ruled out heart problems). It did help with stomach and chest pains."

"The worst experience of my life, this drug. I was prescribed 40 mg per day. Was completely healthy all my life. No issues. All was OK for a few weeks until I started getting sensations of what I now know as anxiety. Tinnitus started then, and I started to feel I had constant kidney problems. Went off these cold turkey, and then the symptoms escalated. Severe weight loss over a 6-week period to the extent I had a biopsy. Could not eat solid foods for about 4 weeks. Kidneys were under huge pressure and had 4 antibiotics for infection. Jolting out of sleep at night, body tremors. Depression, never had anything like this in my life. I am now just over 6 months off of these toxic substances and am almost back to myself. The weight stayed off, but I can eat healthily now. I upped vitamin intake. I have researched this, and whatever these contain seems to work on the whole system - to the organs of the body and neurologically as well. Horrific and avoidable experience."

"My doctor prescribed this because I would have anxiety so bad to the point I would throw up every morning before school and always have to go home early. It’s worked so well! It does make me a bit dizzy sometimes, but I take it once every morning and I still get anxious, just not to the point I throw up anymore :)"

"I was prescribed this pill for heartburn/acid reflux I experienced as a result of food poisoning. I took this pill yesterday afternoon and experienced stomach pain, nausea, heartburn, acid reflux, insomnia, anxiety, and heart racing. I will not be continuing this pill! I take Pepcid or natural alternatives like baking soda, ACV, and aloe vera juice. This medicine also states that it does not provide immediate relief for heartburn. This was not a good experience for me."

"I had moderate acid reflux that eventually caused esophagus inflammation and trouble swallowing. I tried Pepcid AC with no perceivable improvement. The 40 mg omeprazole was nearly immediate in improving acid reflux and ended my swallowing difficulty. Shortly after I saw improvements, I reduced the dosage to 20 mg daily, and I have not had to use antacid tablets in months. Highly recommend. After my prescription is over, I plan to continue with the 20 mg over the counter."

"Omeprazole are terrible tablets. I’ve been taking it a few years, had to have an x-ray on my hips, and been told I have arthritis of the apex, pelvis, and spine, then, and of the bones, all down to this horrible tablet. Now started to have panic attacks, feeling dizzy and nausea. Would never take again, sticking to Andrews and Gaviscon."

"After suffering a stroke, I was put on clopidogrel and was also prescribed omeprazole to protect my stomach. The consultant then switched me to lansoprazole. After a few days, I started to experience balance issues, which I hadn’t had before. My GP has put me back on omeprazole, but I'm still having balance issues. I've been referred back to the stroke team."
