Could prilosec cause changes in metabolism. i took prilosec for a few days and gained 3 pounds, i've decided to stop taking it. will i still gain weig?

NO IT DOES NOT: Prilosec simply took care of what ever upsetting your stomach so you can eat better, you end up eating more, do not blame it on the pill, blame your appetite. if you want to lose weight, eat healthy, exercise, count your calories.
