A little over 2 weeks ago my long term episodic heartburn become more persistent, so I purchased a 14 day regimen of generic Omeprazole. Its effect was dramatic; I had no symptoms for the entire period. When the 14 days were over I stopped per the directions. The heartburn came back almost immediately, and worse than before, so I had to start taking it again, and again it's working. How can I stop?

Second time, 1.5 years back I ometed again due to over drinking and at the end 5ml of blood came with omete. Third time, lask week I was over drunk and ometed again, this time at the last 10-15ml of dark blood came with omete.

Please tell that this is correct and due to acidity only or different, what diagnosis I have to go with and provide any permanent solution. I am a occasional drinker and

My same problem highlighted on declofenac forum. some seem to suffer stomach upsets from Ameprazole. the very symptom I'm using it to avoid.

Did it start while you were just taking the Diclofenac, or after you added the Omeprazole? That will likely help determine you answer. If you aren't sure, you should consult your doctor about stopping one for a few days, to see if the stomach issues stop.. ## Verwon, hello again.

Does anyone taking rabeprazole have side effects such as very low back pain and pain in legs....like a real bad constant ache? I have only been on this med for 5 days. Thank you. ## Hello, Sylbona! How are you? Yes, it certainly can and it tends to cause them very fast, too. I discovered that when I tried it myself, both it and Lansoprazole do me in. Have you contacted your doctor? It would likely be best to try a different medication.

I have been given a prescription of Nexium for a gerd/reflux issue. However, since I've been taking it, it seems like my arthritis ( mainly in my hands ) has been hurting more and getting worse.

Please help me here,i took ADCO-OMEPRAZOLE 20MG this morning together with MOTILIUM and immediately my voice changed as if I have flue.is that caused by the Omeprazole. ## Hi Nomakhaya, Some of the side effects associated with Omeprazole may be to blame for the change in your voice. Looking at a list of potential side effects, I am seeing fever; hoarseness; swelling of the face, tongue, lips, throat, etc; among a variety of other possible symptoms. You can also view this list of side effects in the link below, but I think we pin-pointed it to "hoarseness". Is that sort of what it feels like?: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000936/#a693050-sideEffects I hope this info helps! ## please stop taking those medicines it wont help you....me too a victim...now my life is back to norm...

I am 60 years old. I was diagnosed with "GERD" 3 years ago for which I was prescribed rabeprazole sodium and domperidone formulation - 1 capsule daily. I have been using the medicine since then without any side effects. Short time discontinuance, 3-4 days, has no adverse effect. However, discontinuance beyond that the diagnosed problems resurface all over again. Is it OK to continue taking this medicine kind of lifelong? My last medical exam about 6 months has been normal. Thanks and Regards. ## That's a very long time to keep taking it and the concern is that long-term use of the Rabeprazole can increase the risk of hip fractures, which could be very risky at your age. Learn more Rabeprazole details here. What else have you tried to treat the GERD, such as just regular anta...

I too was recently switched to generic A333 made by Pharma due to shortages. I have experienced upset stomach, indigestion, indigestion, etc...likewise, my pharmacy was CVS. I am NOT getting as much pain relief either & the pain comes back in less than 2 hrs, where as others can last up to 6. Where can I file a complaint? THANKS ## The only place I think it would make sense to file a complaint like this with, would be to contact the manufacturer who makes those specific tablets and let them know what's going on. Maybe if enough people file complaints with them directly, they would start to take a hint. Here's the number to reach Actavis' Customer Service: +1 (800) 272-5525 As a patient having to rely on this medication for chronic pain relief, there's not much else y...

Can you take bella phenobarbi with promises ## Hello, DRV! How are you? You can take them together, but it will reduce the efficacy of the Omeprazole, so it isn't a dangerous interaction, but your dosage may need to be adjusted. The Omeprazole may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Is there anything else I can help with?
