prilosec

i have recently been prescribed prilosec to take for 6 months....since starting it i have been having dizzy spells.....does anyone else have this problem or is it something i should be concerned about....i'm almost 6 months post op

I would check with your doctor. I've never taken it, but if you have something odd happening, it's always best to get it checked out by a professional. Different drugs can affect people differently.

I checked a little further:  http://www.rxlist.com/prilosec-drug.htm

This says "call your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms of low magnesium:

• dizziness, confusion"

I guess Prilosec can cause low magnesium. I would definitely get it checked out with your doctor. 

When you got your prescription, it should have come with a sheet from the pharmacy listing all kinds of information, including side effects (at least all of my husband's prescriptions do), unless of course your doctor just gave you samples which probably came with nothing.
