Does anyone use omeprazole for stomach acid

Hi and welcome to the A/P:) I do not know about this med, but someone else here might come along soon...also I would post this in the GERD forum, as they would probably know.

I don't see why you couldn't take it at night, unless it says otherwise. It does seem that it would make sense to try to bring down acid levels before trying to eat in the morning. Maybe check with your dr. or pharmacist if you don't have the original paperwork/instructions.

Post with us anytime if you have anxiety issues to talk about!

Be well,

Thanks. I did have a perscription from my doc a few years ago when I was having this problem but now my insurance will only pay for the over the counter version. I will contact her to see if I should be taking more.

cookie, I feel your pain. I have taken that med, and I too took it in the night, it worked best for me. If you are taking the over the counter one, ask your doctor about a higher dose of it! There's a prescription that is a double dose. So I started taking 2 of the over the counter one's and that helped. Also try switching up your methods. Try Zantac 150 that's a good one too. also buy a wedge pillow, that may help you so you don't sleep flat.
Hope you find a method that works for you.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have reflux which hasn't bothered me in a long time. It seems like in stressful times when the anxiety is high that my stomach is just a mess. Its like a big knot and I don't have much of an appetite.

will talk with my doc.
