Maybe: Have you tried taking the pill with food, or at night? If you do so and it still causes stomach upset after a two-month trial, follow up with your doc and try another brand. You should not need to take a to ach medicine to tolerate your birth control pill.

Try another pill: If you are truly not tolerating a birth control pill after an entire cycle (and needing to take another pill to counteract a side effect), then it sounds like you and that pill are not a good match. Omeprazole is an antacid designed to be taken in 2 week bursts and is not really meant to be taken for long periods to counter a side-effect. I think it would be worth discussing changing pills.
