Side effects with omeprazole/Prilosec use

My doctor said the way to get off omeprazole/Prilosec if you take one pill daily is to take 1/2 pill daily for 2 weeks, then 1/4 pill daily for 2 weeks, and then stop. I've been at the 1/4 pill level for several months; need to just quit!

@lelia I'm confused. I never knew that omeprazole had to be stopped gradually. What happens if you just stop taking it? I was taking twice the amount I am now taking and when the doctor cut that in half I had no effects from that. Plus, I have always had capsules, those would be tough to cut in half.
