Severe frontal lobe headaches that occur upon waking in the AM. Today also had visual acuity affected in left eye. The pain was like nothing I have ever experienced! I must take 800mg IB immediately and not move at all, nausea the sets in and it takes a couple of hours to slowly resolve. I am left feeling weak, shaky, disoriented for the rest of the day. This EXACT scenario has happened twice after starting 20 mg. of Prilosec twice daily (started 2 weeks ago). Needless to say I am not taking this medication anymore.

I also take Prilosec OTC daily, along with alot of pain meds for Chronic Pain Syndrome....The headaches usually start upon waking & last at least 6-8 hours!! I am motionless during these excruciating headaches and I almost always end it by "losin' my lunch"! After that, I'll sip a little Coca Cola and carry the cool, wet cloth around to lay on my head again for just a bit until the pain eases enough for me to actually sit in my recliner and enjoy a sit-com! I wasn't sure if it was the Morphine I take or Fentanyl, but I'm sure glad to know now that it can very well be caused by Prilosec!!
