Omeprazole

I would discuss with your Dr about stopping or cutting your dose before you do so yourself. They can suggest alternative medication that you might not know about.

I'm concerned that you seem to have decided instead of doubling the dose as suggested by a medical professional, to stop taking the medication completely based on what you've read on Google. I think it would be advisable to discuss your decision with your GP. Stopping omeprazole may increase your symptoms significantly. Maybe stay on your current dose until you can see your GP who will be able to suggest alternative medication.

I had to change to Lansprozole for my hiatus hernia and also take Stemetil for nausea.
Metoclopramide makes me very unwell.

I can’t take Omeprazole regularly, it lowers my sodium, Famotidine is my prescribed drug for hernia/reflux. I take metocloprimide as and when for nausea caused by the reflux.
Perhaps ask for something else.

Is this the first time your Dr has seen you since you were put on omeprozole. 12 months is a long time without any checks.
But, he has checked you now so you can only assume that all is ok.

No, it wasn’t my regular Doctor. It was the same day team if I want to see my regular doctor, I can take up to a month to get a face-to-face appointment 😬

Shinamae Please Google the side effects of Omeprazole (there are many). I would think carefully whether you really want to take it long term which is not recommended.

I have now decided to stop taking it after reading some not so pleasant side-effects.. just see how it goes
