I started taking it just over a week ago, and the past week I’ve felt very depressed and more anxious on and off. I have just thought about the fact I’ve been taking them and wondered if there could be a connection?
I’m supposed to take them for another week.
Mood changes, malaise and depression are listed as a rare side-effect so it is possible omeprazole is triggering an anxiety/depression spike, but it is also possible this is being driven more by an anxious mind reacting to taking the med, especially if you have health anxiety.
