Hi @karjack. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am so sorry your are having headaches daily! I know your pain. As you will see I moved your comment to an ongoing discussion about getting off of Omeprazole so that you could connect with others who are going through the same process.
Besides heartburn and headache, have you had any other symptoms? Have you consulted with your doctor about tapering off of this medication?

I have talked to my GP about getting off and she said, why? if it works then take it, really, I just think if it's so hard to get off of there has to be a reason for this. After all it's been in my system for over 40 years .
