"I suddenly developed severe gas and bloating which persisted for about two months. My doctor prescribed omeprezole. 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 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. Ending up in the hospital a month ago, my stomach was perfect but not my esophagus so I took my last 20mg pill yesterday so I hope this all goes away soon."

"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 months for the side effects to show up."

"OMG!!! Reading all those reviews makes sense now as I’ve had similar experiences by taking omeprazole only when I was getting a flare up of a gout attack coming up as I had to take 20mg of it 1 hr before meal & after meal, colchicine & Voltaren 100. Been doing this for the last 15-20 years as been diagnosed with gout nearly 30 years ago when I was 18 years old. It’s been happening lately lets say a few years back when taking omeprazole that I have been getting symptoms of chronic fatigue, blurred vision, extreme anxiety, panic attacks, brain fog, muscle cramps, severe insomnia & depression. I cannot function at all specially in the mornings when I wake up and only start to function in late afternoon after pushing myself to exercise even with extreme fatigue so that I felt better afterwards as my body would produce endorphins and serotonins. My GP prescribed me antidepressant drugs also,I still feel horrible now writing this review :( THANK YOU to all of you for your reviews"

"I don't live in USA but I had a very bad reaction to this drug. I ended up in hospital with a massive inflammatory condition which we ended up assuming was responsible for inflamed eyes also. I had the same situation 3 times before we realised 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 create a rash on my shins."

"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."

"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 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."

"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 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 20mg over the counter."

"The worst experience of my life this drug. I was prescribed 40mg 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"

"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 & Aloe Vera Juice. This medicine also states that it does not provide immediate relief for heartburn. This was not a good experience for me."
