Omeprazole and diarrhea

I have been taking Omeprazole 20 mg timer release tabs for 7 days now,
I am always tired, sever stomach cramps, sever gas, and diarrhea, and sometimes dizzy. I have decided to stop taking it at this point I have enough trouble eating I don't need more or what I do going right threw me. Thank you all for letting me know your symptoms are so I knew it was not just me. I wish you all the best of luck.

I have had most of the side effects you are all talking about.

I was taking it for 2 weeks off one week again one week off one week than on again.

I didn't realize my headaches were form the medicine so kept taking it.

Yesterday I had an exteme reaction, huge panic and anxiety chest pain back pain thought I was going crazy.

I am so happy I found this site.

I will never take it again, Today I did not take it but am still feeling horrible, anxiety, heart pulps, just feeling"out of it"

This is just not right, there were none of these side effects listed on the box.

I wonder how long it will take to feel OK again.

I have had diarrhea and a constant headache on one side of my head since starting Omeprazole. I've taken Tylenol and even migraine medication but this just eased the pain. It is 24 hours a day. I think I'd rather take a chance with the heartburn.

I have been taking OMEPROZOLE for around 9 months for Barretts Asophegus reflux.
In general I was beginning to feel I was very ill with symptoms mainly: hot flushes, my face was burning for a few seconds, dizziness, stomach cramps top right mainly, feelings of diareah, and dry mouth.
Has anybody else experienced any of these symptoms... my GP is sending me for a scan on my Gall Bladder, but in my mind all these cramps are associated with Omeprozole... I cannot stop taking it or I get severe pain between my shoulder blades with reflux burning.
