Hey folks, I have some stomach issues that are surely anxiety related.
The main one lately is CONSTANT hunger pangs, resulting I expect, from an excess of stomach acid. Thanks anxiety, appreciate that.
Even when I just have eaten, still hungry. I feel like I am turning into a vampire or something, and food no longer fills the void. It is hell, but I have gotten over the worry that I have stomach cancer or something, and have actually accepted that it is anxiety.
Now, to battle this, I have bought some Priolesec OTC (the non perscription kind, an American brand name for Omeprazol Magnesium ). It is 25mg a day for 14 days, and it says that it takes 1-4 days to have an effect. I just took day three's pill, so I am only part way in. The thing is, yesterday I noticed a huge relief of the hunger pang symptom for most of the day, so I thought things were working. Today, however, is terribly. I feel like I am starving, in spite of having eaten a good, solid breakfast with lean protien and good whole grain carbs. What I have eaten for years which keeps me filled until about 11 AM normally. It was like I never ate anything.
So it was a setback. I was wondering if anyone else has experience with Priolosec of drugs like it for things like this, and if they had relapses while still going through the 1-4 days of build up?
