omperzole 4x a day safe?

I have been diagnosed with esophagitis and have been taking omperazole 20 4x a day, this seems like a high level compared to other people and I am only 4'10" about 110 pounds, is this safe? I go back to the gi on tuesday for the results of a motility and ph tests I just had done. My gall bladder is also at 35% and they do not want to take it out. I am in pain and they prescribed me amitripalyne 25mg too. I have a lost of appetitate so I know i don't eat what I should, just wondering if the meds are helping or maybe causing me harm than good?

Hi,
Omeprazole is a safe medication.
Though in certain "acid related" conditions dose as high as 120 mg three times a day is Prescribed,  for esophagitis 20 mg twice a day is enough.
