Yes. Omeprazole (Prilosec) does not interfere with either the triptan medications or over the counter marketed pain relievers such as Excedrin/Excedrin Migraine.

Omeprazole must be taken at least 30 minutes prior to a meal for the medication to be properly absorbed. Omeprazole absorption is significantly impaired when in the presence of food. Omeprazole OTC (over-the-counter) does not work instantly and may take up to 4 days (4 doses) for the medication to reach adequate levels in the blood and be fully effective at significantly reducing stomach acid.
