I have been on omeprazole for 2 months. I noticed I would get dizzy and hot flashes. I quit taking it and have been off for 7 days. I'm wondering how long it takes for these side effects to stop?? I feel light headed all the time sometimes I feel good and then I get dizzy again?? Please Respond?? Thanks

Try 1 tbs on Aloe Vera Gel after each meal (Fred Meyers) $ 8.00 a quart keep in ice box after opening, a Pine oil 1000 mg daily after breakfast www.vitaminworld.com about 15 bucks for 100. Now reduce red meats ham lamb pork etc to zero, fish or other for protein, apple juice, no orange, no booze or any coffee for life, take 1 150 Ranitidine at bedtime 'zantac' Costco about 9 bucks. No prilosec or omeprazole for a couple of months, chart any changes. Jack

Hi,

I have the same symptoms its been more than a year it didn't go away. I had high blood pressure and was using athenolol and had pains around my chest. I went to doctor and it was related with my stomach so I started Omeprazole 20mg and used it for 6 months.

During this period I was trying to get off athenolol as I didnt want to use any drugs anymore. So I stopeed using athenolo but after 3 months I was having pressure in my head, it got more frequent in time turned into lighthededness (what i mean is that eyes feel like being drunk, blurry and not able to focus well and in time, its like looking to the world from camera). I was thinking that this feeling is related with my blood pressure and stopping of the medication so I kept on using omeprazole for 6 months. During this time this drunk like feeling got more frequent and after a year now its everyday.

So I started blood pressure medication again this time different drug but the drunk feeling didn't go away so I undrestood it wasnt related with my blood pressure. I went and done all the checkups nothing was found.

Almost a year has passed over using omeprazole now. I was feeling better by time and this drunk like feeling was getting less in time. Recently I got stomach problems again and started using Omeprazole again and blurred, foggy, drunk like feeling which also makes you confused and being not able to focus symptoms got worsen again, plus it didn't give me relief of my stomach even made it worse, so now I understand these sysmptoms are all related with this Omeprazole.

How come these drugs can exist and they can be prescribed. I am having horrible year because of this feeling and because of this drug. DO NOT EVER USE IT. I will sue these comanpies who produce this drug!!!

Sergio
