jittery from taking omeprozole

hi i was wondering is it normal to feel jittery on omeprozole

It is a very common medication. Have a look at the leaflet about side effects, but personally I have not heard of this before.

Sometimes the doctors do change patients to a different PPI when omeprazole does not suit them, but usually this is for other reasons. These medications often need time before they settle down. If you have been taking them and leave them off, this can cause a 'bounce' of reflux when the body is adjusting again.

Its possible that the reason you feel jittery is the reason you are on it! Stress can lead to high stomach acid and being ill in itself is stressful.
