Success stories in recovering from Omeprazole

Posted , 1 user is following.

I quit omeprazole after taking it for 5 days straight because the side effects were too much for me. I really dont think i have acid reflux problems in general as i have never been bothered by anything when eating or drinking. I was prescribed this drug because of one indigestion event after i ate two slices of pizza and a slice of cake. I think this occured because i did immediately lay down right after eating which i normally never do. However this med has made my anxiety so bad (i never had anxiety before this) and has made my 5 days on it completely miserable. Today is my 4th day not on omeprazole and all the side effects that i had with the drug have disappeared. Except for the acid reflux withdrawal that seems to be going down and is not that bad. However i still deal with anxiety (which also has gone down a little) and now my front neck feels little stiff and my eye twitches more often than usual. can this be due to the omeprazole and coming off of it? I need success stories of going back to normal to encourage me that i can indeed go back to how i was feeling before ever taking this poison.
