Omeprazole and omeprozole

I was on 40mg Pantoprazole for a year, and then the Doctor suggested I start to take 20mg of Omeprozole twice a day.

I've only been on it for three weeks now, and I've asked to come off it because it's not helping as much as the pantoprozle. I wake up in the morning and I just feel ill.

I've also been miserable, and i've been finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning, and even wake up. I was blaming this on glandular fever that I had earlier this year. But then I started thinking it might be something to do with the change in medication.

As well as tiredness, and acute depression, I've been irrational, extremely itchy, my skin has broken out in spots (mostly face, thighs and neck/chest area). My vision has also started to blur slightly, which I thought was just over use of computers (because i'm a graphic designer).

Once I switch back to Pantoprozole I'll start to see if these symptoms were the Omeprozole, which I think they are.

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.

I have been taking Prilosec and Omeprazole for more than 5 years. I have had trouble with itching, dizziness, and now, tinnitus. The itching which was intense on my calves was solved by washing with a wash cloth and not taking a shower or bath, as my doctor recommended.

The dizziness comes and goes. The tinnitus is new. My pharmacist said that tinnitus usually starts immediately upon introduction of the drug, but it is possible for it to occur at any time. Over the years I have identified the foods which cause distress (most food), and I am extremely careful. One bite of, let's say, pizza, will cause a great deal of gastro distress for days.

I also feel like I am completely dependent on the Omeprozole, because I get ill within 1 to 2 days if I do not take it every day.
