Comment:
A gastroenterologist put me on this long term and after several months I started developing serious side effects and though I had pancreatic cancer. When I learned this drug had been known to cause pancreatitis, I discontinued use and the symptoms disappeared. Would never take this for any extended period as I believe it can be very dangerous to some people.

After being on this med, I noticed I was belching a lot. Then the gas started. I went off to see if symptoms would go away and they did. My doc suggested taking gas x. I will give this a try.

Will this eventually go away. It has been more than 45 days. I am taking klonopin to control anxiety. Is there too much serotonin in my body caused by the omeprazole? Will it eventually go away? I am at my wits
