I have been taking omeprazole 20mg daily once for the last 9 months. After one week of taking this medication I started developing mild symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, sweating of hands, weekness of legs, panic and nervous attacks especially while driving. Slowly the symptoms became intense and now I cannot drive at all. Initially I was not aware that these are the side effects of omeprazole. I did EKG, MRI of brain, Cardiac thorough check up and tests, all normal.
Finally I traced back the time of the symptoms and the start date of this medication, it exactly coincided. Can anyone tell me if these symptoms are reversible. I have stopped taking Omeprazole.

The drug does control acid reflux but I think it may be messing with my brain a little. I get easily aggitated and seem to have what I describe as knots in my head. Could be an unrelated stress thing but Im not a Dr.
The truth of the matter is that it does do its job very well.
Im not too sure all the posts here are real however. Just looks like propaganda for the other drug company.

my symptoms were with Prevacid, I believe that these drugs all have the same dangerous side effect. It started with extreme weakness, numbness and pins and needles in my legs and arm. Now after 9 weeks of stopping the Prevacid I feel shaky and tremors. I take b-12 injections because it seemed to have depleted me of my normal b-12 levels. I am hoping this is the problem and will improve . until than my doctor has me going to a neurologist to assure it is nothing else . mri of brain is normal and thyroid is normal. HOW LONG UNTIL THESE SYMPTOMS SUBSIDE , PLEASE TELL ME THEY WILL GO AWAY.
