I was diagnosed with gastritis and my doc prescribed 150mg of Zantac. Went back to doc and while the Zantac has helped some it hasn't helped fully. So she prescribed omeprazole. I go for an ultrasound of my gallbladder Thursday. But I wanted to ask for some personal experiences using this medication.

Some have taken it for 20+ years with no side effects on a daily basis, some have taken it for a couple of days with huge side effects, id depends on your body configuration(genetics). If it helps you and if you handle it well then cool if you get side effects and you must take then switch to another brand, my suggestion is pantoprazole (been on it for 3 years no side effects). Try to get off the medication at some point. If you can't then you'll stay on it, it's the best thing that a gastro or GP can give to treat stomach-esophageal problems...
