Anxiety is not even a rare side effect of omeprazole.

Considering that it is a drug for acid reflux and peptic ulcers it should not cause anxiety. I had a quick look online and not once saw it causes anxiety, the only side effect I could see were general digestive complaints like nausea and tummy ache. Maybe you're confusing these side effects with anxiety?

PS - I've worked in many care homes where this drug was prescribed to a large number of residents that I cared for and I never heard or witnessed any side effects of any description relating to Omeprazole.
