@lou_cards79 gas wasnt a side affect for me. I have been on the med for probably 15 years. I have weaned myself to 40mg every third day with zantac as my in between when needed. Good luck and try to find a way off. My Dr told me Dementia is linked to this drug which is why he wants me off.

@kelandjim This is of great of interest to me since I take 20mg of omeprazole daily, and one of my greatest fears is Alzheimer’s or dementia. I googled and found a few articles that say the latest findings indicate that PPIs do not contribute to dementia. I sure hope they are correct.
