Omeprazole not working
Posted , 50 users are following.
Can anyone help? I have suspected Acid Reflux and I have been taking Omeprazole for 3 weeks, I have only noticed a very slight improvement in my condition and I'm wondering if I should stop taking them or do they take much longer to take effect. I have to say I'm not too happy taking them with all the side effects!

67 year old here on Omeprazole 40mg. (I took advil for arthrtiis pain and I am a great worrier that causes great anxiety....so here I am.
How do I know th Omeprazole is working. Some burning and now again some gnawing. Not a pill popper here..but doing this....also I can tell a negative thought has reation in my stomach. Doc also said to take Zantac or whatever that is called. It does help somewhat...so does Almond Milk
that seems to comfort me the most. He said to stay on Omeprazole for 30 days..which brings me to dec. 21..so not sure if I should do that or go for endo now....

I have been on Omrprezole for almost 1.5 months.. I have not noticed much if any improvement. Any other prescrption that works better? Or do I need to give it more time? I have a lump feeling in my throat on one side and just an irritated & swollen throat all the time (Some days are worse than others) Its at its worst right now. Really depressed.

Hey Jacqueline,
I had seen your post and I know it's from 2 months ago but I'm wondering if you found relief? I have been on omeprazole for nearly 2 weeks. I don't feel as sick as I did before taking them and I don't get heartburn constantly every day like what had developed in the past few weeks, but I still get it occasionally. Stressing doesn't help. I'm concerned because the acid reflux I have makes me feel really gassy and gaggy at times as well. Thanks, M

@theresa05250,
Boy oh boy do i get you when you say that you are a worrier. And that it causes you great anxiety. I know your post is a little old and i hope that you found some relief from your stomach problems and that awful anxiety that attacks you. Because i can relate to that because i to worry way too much .
Just thought i'd say hello and hope you have gotten well. or at least calmed down your anxiety levels. Because they don't play fair and i think that anxiety is evil in every way it pops it's ugly head into our lives.
SINCERELY,
DMZABO.

I have suffered from heartburn and acid reflux for just over 12months and initially my GP prescribed Omeprazole which I took for just over 2 weeks but felt no improvement to my condition as i had quite bad oesophagitus so as omeprazole doesn't give immediate relief I gave up.
I have been throug endoscopy and ph mamontry testing which confirmed a hernia. I was advised to persist with the omeprazole and have to say after 2 months my condition has vastly improved to the extent I have thrown the last bottle of gaviscon out.
I have reduced to 20mg and will continue long term but my life is defiantly better.
Good luck
