I have been taking Omeprazole since December 2007 now so 2 and a half months.
I had the dose increased to 40mg 3 weeks ago as 20mg wasn't curing the burning in my throat.
For a few weeks now i have had increasing vertigo/dizziness and palpitations. I only linked the 2 to the medication just yesterday, googled it just now and confirmed my suspicions to the Omeprazole.
Other feeling i have had since taking this medication...
Severe dizziness
vertigo
palpitations
headaches/migraines
weakness
fatigue
sweating
nausea
bloating
stomach cramps
visual problems
intolerance to bright lights
aching joints
chest pain
Now my question to myself is do i come off the tablets and endure the misery of my acid reflux? surely there must be something else we can take for our stomach problems that don't cause these awful side effects.
Anyone tried anything else that worked and didn't make them unwell?

hi everyone
i just thought i'd post about mirena post removal. i had mine removed 8 weeks ago after 6 months of unbearable side effects. i am now finding they are all fading away. the joint pains i was having in my hips knees and wrists was horrendous, so much so i was being tested for lupus and arthritis, my muscles were also tender and easily fatigued. these symptoms have slowly diminished and are now almost gone completely.
i had terrible gallbladder type pain but on both sides under my ribs, also now gone
i had headaches, now gone
i was impossible to live with because of my mood swings and irritability, now gone, just a bit more pms'y than i would have been prior to the mirena
constant bleeding and gross sludgy discharge, now gone
bacterial vaginosis, gone
unbearable tiredness. getting better
low libido, getting better
brain fog, getting better
hair loss, getting better
