omeprazole

[Jemlou]

does anyone take this? is it affective? my doctor prescribed it to me but i didnt take it as i saw the side effects can include nausea, and my main anxiety symptom is nausea and ibs and the cit makes my nauseous on top of that so was worried omeprazole would tip me over the edge?

Never made me feel sick - just a bit dizzy for the first day.

It is fantastic and used to sort my indigestion out within 48 hours

Definitely take it

I don't get any side effects either, I couldn't be without this it helps so much x

I can't remember any side effects. I took a 2 week course about a year ago. Read the inserts of all your other drugs, not all work with omeprazole. For example there is an interaction of:
omeprazole and citalopram

[suzy-sue]

Omeprazole taken with citalopram MAY increase the effects of Citalopram .If you feel like you are experiencing more side effects it wise to speak to your GP .he will reduce the ammount of Cit accordingly .Other than that there is no cause for concern .Sue

yes you see i am taking Citalopram (20mg) and havent been on it that long and have been struggling with the side effects, so i dont want to take the omeprazole and have a bad reaction of the comined two

Why don't you try ranitidine (Zantac)? You can buy it over the counter at chemists. Not sure it will alleviate nausea caused by cit but worth a try. (Ask pharmacist first though.)
