If you use this (and you are native speaker, not just near-native), do you feel it is also acceptable to say "on second thoughts"?

yes totally is. second thoughts? or you can say it the it like this: a second thought?

No, I mean with the word "on". Sorry, if that wasn't clear.

Of course, one can say "I'm having second thoughts"...
