I've been taking Omeprazole for the last 4-5 days for the "possible treatment of H. Pylori" while we are waiting on a nuclear gallbladder test. After I started taking this I noticed my stomach going into cramps. Just like when you have a tummy bug and you get spasms or knots in your tummy. Very uncool, painful, and the only thing that seems to make it stop is eating and making my tummy full. (At least 90% of the discomfort and pain leaves when I do that) so I have been off of it for a little over 24 hours, and this morning I woke with some tummy cramps again. I'm thinking it may take a couple of days for everything to return to normal. I'm not going to take it anymore. (drugs - geesh - if you hear a commercial say it treats arthritis but may cause lymphoma - good god, why do that? Sorry I just think it's horrible about some drugs not that I have arthritis but I'd rather take a pain pill for it than turn around and get cancer)

I HAVE TAKEN OMEPRAZOLE TO COUNTER THE REFLUX
ISSUES FROM MY ARTHRITIS MEDS. I HAVE GAS AND BLOATING, CRAVING FOR CARBS AND TERRIBLE RINGING IN MY EARS. I EVEN HAD MY HEARING TESTED AND THEY
CLAIM THAT THE MEDS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. HOWEVER, I NEVER HAD RINGING IN MY EARS PRIOR TO TAKING OMEPRAZOLE.

I started taking Prilosec a few months ago and didn't notice any acute symptoms, but a week or so ago my pharmacy used a generic form of this
-- By bodotblue | Reply | Private Message me( Omeprazole) and I have been having debilitating headaches every day all day. I thought t was from my arthritis but it continues. Yesterday stopped taking Omeprazole to see if it will make a difference.I woke up today with a MAJOR headache. What I have been trying if 2 2mg Valium and some ibuprofen to see if this helps. At least it eases the pain. I have been taking Relpax (migraine pills) but after a while the headaches come back. This is so bad, guess I will have to go back to the doctor if this doesn't work. Anyone else having bad headaches too? Thanks for letting me let off steam.
