I'm so glad I found this web site because I did think there was something seriously wrong with me, I took Prevacid for years without any side effects, switched to Nexium because it was cheaper and never had any problems with it, I was just at my doctors in Dec. 08 asked the doctor if there was a generic brand for Nexium because the cost has risen on that also so he prescribed 40mg of Omeprazole, took my 1st dose on Dec 31st, I thought I was having a heart attack, had severe pain between my shoulder blades, alot of burping, sick to my stomach, when I would eat it felt like my food was stuck in my chest, and also had a very nervous feeling, my husband suggested, that I stop taking the Omeprazole until I could talk with the dr. I only took it for 4 days and had these effects, I can only imagine what long term would do, I am feeling better still slight effects, but nothing like before, I will never take this drug again, I guess I will go back to forking out more money for the Nexium, it is just crazy the price we have to pay for meds.
