What can i do to wean myself of losec (omeprazole) 20 mgr?

Not addicting...: Losec (prilosec, omeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor. It blocks stomach acid. It's not addicting, but of course your acid-related symptoms can return once acid production resumes when the drug is stopped. No taper or wean is needed--just stop.
