Specializes in Internal Medicine

Unlikely: The causes of difficulty with erections are many - but unlikely related to omeprazole, and the problem wouldn't last after stopping the medication even if it were involved. Most common causes in 22yr old men are psychological - anxiety or other concerns. If this problem persists, talk to your doctor.
