Never having taken it - can't help, sorry.
However - how long have you been on it? The effect is due to B12 deficiency so it might be worth speaking to the GP and asking them to check your B12 level. Have you any other signs of B12 deficiency?

Never affected me in that way when I took it all through GCA/pred ….😊
I gave up omeprazole and have Greek yoghurt now which seems to protect my stomach just fine. I’m just not convinced about the benefits verse any side affects are worth taking it for me.
