Spelled it wrong - it's Omeprazole. It's not for my allergy (which went down in the end) it's for heartburn. It's a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) and as far as I know there are no side effects to coming off it - except that the original problem resurfaces.

I didn't wake up with heartburn today, so I've held off making an appointment.
