I have been talking Omeprazole now off and on for about a year.I did stop as the side effects

out wheighed the benefit.

But have recently started taking it again.

My main problem is the skin irritation,which occurs on my wrists , hands and legs.

The back of my neck is also very sensitive.

I resently change from Persil to Fairy washing powder.

    I took it for a week 2 months got side effects different to your ones, I stopped taking and self medicated with Marigold tea, 1 cup a day, slippery elm, Rennie Extra (very helpful),  fortunately it has gone away.  But still suffer from bloatedness.

      I had a sick feeling in my stomach and a pain in my lower back ,which I think might be kindey related.(the docs. say its not that ! ) I also get acid in my throat which is more usual at night.

      I did try Slippery elm tablets and liqoris exstract.
