Oh ive dead scared to take my Omeprazole due to the scary stories ive read, anyway thought id tell you that my mother and two friends are now taking it and with no side affects what so ever. i guesse at least we know now if we do experience the awfull side afects mentioned soon after taking Omeprazole at least we will know whats causing the problem and can stop. think ill have to give in and try them too as i dont want to develope ulcers.

      You're telling me it's a joke! You need medication for a medical condition and they will only give you a private prescription? I don't want to sound too nosey but is that something to do with you wanting Losec and not Omeprazole the cheaper version?

      It's not good that you have to pay so much for it when it's available on the NHS. I would be complaining to my local health authority.

    Let me tell you what i have experience from this poison my problems first started that i noticed after 1 month i got jock itch never had in my life then i got something draining from my butt sorry i done some research and found others to have same problem from this med but could not stop it as i would get bad reflux back and would half to take this poison again i thought this was bad enough soon after i noticed something that was not right like others have said brain fog may be the word for it next my jaw got stiff i also pretty sure it led into a mini stroke kept going to the hostpital and docs all was well they said my eyes then got blood shot and red days later they had black circles around them i would start feeling like hang over fatigue feelings in my eyes and arms when waking up

      never could rule the meds as a problem as when i felt like i was getting better i had to take something but we all cant be wrong its poison i did get off it for almost a month i felt a bit better but my vision or face tightness or something to do what ever this med done to my head was still there but felt better 

      Here was all my symtoms i exsperianced

      1 jock itch

      2 drainage from the butt maybe due to a iternal hemroid that this poision also may have caused not ruling it out 

      3 brain fog

      4 face/jaw/eyes/head stiffness

      5 my heart felt like it was racing when i went to lay down

      6 leg twitches

      7 mini stroke

      8 i would get real hot and like i could not breath and panic maybe the anxiety part 

      9 hung over feelings in arms and eyes when waking up 

      10 nausea

      11 felt so drain i was a walking zombie and about to pass out 

      12 shoulder pain not sure if it is tied to this

      13 back pain noot sure if it tied to this 

      14 vision problems

      for the ones that have problems with this med do not wait till u have mini strokes and go to the doctors to be told its in ur head or anxiety or like they never heard of it before so many people describing the same problems cant be wrong i just hope it did not permant damage my body most all my symtoms went away after u stop this med a month later i still did not feel right what ever it done to my head and was told i had barrets esophagus and scared me to take a cpl doses and the face tense and all got worst again so dont question this med like i did seems to me everywhere i read others have same problems we all cant be wrong hope my story helps someone from turning corners and doing every test in the book and all along it was the med been almost 4 months from time my problems started
