Stay away from this !!!!!!. I took this for 2.5 months and during the middle of it I started to feel nausea and fatigue. I than started to get light headed during the day for no reason. I started to relate the pills to my symptoms and stopped. I have been off for 2 months now and I still experience light hotheadedness. It is now just starting to get better. Hopefully this will go totally away over time?
I also believe this brought on Anxiety as well?
Anyone else experience this?

I started taking Omeprazole 20 mg 3 days ago. The very first day I took it at night. The next morning I woke up and my head felt like it was spinning out of control. I tried closing my eyes, putting my head back on the pillow, etc. Finally it stopped. Next day, same thing but not as severe. I am stopping this medicine before any other symptoms occur. Glad I found this site!!

I just googled "Prilosec & weakness with sweating" and came up with this site. I have been on OTC Prilosec for at least 2 yrs. taking it off & on...mostly on (everyday). I have been getting more ill over the last 2 months than I have ever been! I am diagnosed with Firbomyalgia & CFS, so I keep blaming my worsening symptoms on those two diseases. My doctor has done so many tests & can't find any answers. I am so glad I found this site. My symptoms of severe weakness, & profuse sweating, with many heart palps, may be coming from the Prilosec. I am going off of it starting today to see if I get any relief. I will have to find something else for my acid reflux...no more medicine!! If anyone knows of a natural product or food to lessen the acid, I would love to hear!

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 too have had all the horrible side effects of this dangerous drug.. Yesterday after much research I started taking Aloe Vera gel capsules available at the health food stores.. I stopped the Omeprazole and I fee like a new woman already!!. Many sites recommend the aloe vera capsules not just one site..They work!! Also am eating a bland diet for awhile..applesauce, serial, apple juice..No Citrus, no chocolate, no tomatoes the list goes on.. Bland bland bland is key.
