I have been taking Omeprazole 20mg. once a day for two weeks. I as well was worried about a brain tumor. For the past week, about one week after starting the medication, I have had daily headaches that are not relieved by ibuprofen, dizziness all day and feel like I have trouble with focusing my eyes. I stopped taking it yesterday. I hope these side effects go away soon.

I am a 55 y/o athletic female who began taking Omeprazole 20mg twice a day in early January 2008. After about 4 weeks, I began having severe vertigo - even to the point of vomiting, but I never once connected the vertigo the the Omeprazole.

While visiting my 80-year old father last weekend, he commented on his own use of pepcid and its side effects of dizziness. I was hit with the proverbial 2' X 4' right between the eyes -- I stopped taking the Omeprazole last Saturday; after 5 days, I still have bouts of dizziness though. How long does this med take to get out of one's system??!!!

i am taking omeprazole after meal, but it supposed to be before meal, i forgot to ask my doctor on how i should take it. i knew i should take it twice daily but i don' know about taking it before meal.. what do you think will happen?

wank . . . .better to ask your ?'s to your dr. who prescribed this drug . I suggest that you read some of posts and you will find this drug can cause many side effects. There are many natural products for health issues.
