I thought perhaps Nexium was depleting my calcium and I had a vitamin deficiency due to it. Going to try going off orbit for a few days and seeing what happens. I go for my next endoscopy in a week and want to be able to discuss with doc if it is Nexium causing these symptoms. | F | 55 | 1 years 40mg | 6/27/2015 | 1 | suspected ulcer | Severve headache like nerve pain... very smelly wind passing. Very soft stools, feeling very hungover from & sleepy towards the last 2 days | Its was great on for my stomach ... wouldn't recommend to anyone | F | 41 | 6 days 40 | 6/22/2015 | 2 | Reflux -possible cause for tinnitus | Severe anxiety, depression, increased higher volume of ringing in left ear, general body soreness, foggy head. | Stopped taking Nexium and started feeling better within 24 hours. | M | 39 | 5 days 20 2X day | 6/20/2015 | 4 | GRED | muscle spasms | F | 55 | 10 days 40mg | 6/14/2015 | 1 | acid stomach, throwing up | Headache,lightheaded, increased anxiety | Started using nexium about 5 months ago due to stomach issues and throwing up, for the past 2 months I've noticed i have increased anxieties, on and off through the day i have moments of being foggy and dizzy, i never even thought this could be the reason why i was feeling this way, glad i found others reviews and experiences on it | F | 33 | 5 months 1x a day | 6/4/2015 | 1 | Indigestion, heartburn | head/face tingling, headaches, neck pain, muscle aches in back/arms/legs, jittery, blurred vision, brain fog, lightheaded, SEVERE anxiety at times w/ panic attacks (never had before), chest/abdominal pains, EXTREME dry mouth, jaw pain/stiffness, irratibility (probably from feeling horrible all the time), night sweats with rapid heart rate, insomnia | I started Nexium about 3 weeks ago and very shortly after that I started having all these symptoms come on one by one. I have been to the ER 3 times and my regular doc a few times thinking I had the flu or mono or sinus infections, etc. I've had CT scans of basically my entire body (head and abdomen) and multiple rounds of labs done .. all have come out normal! Not until about 2 days ago did I realize that I started Nexium just before all these symptoms came on. I never would have thought an acid reducer would have all these horrid side effects! I found this site and realized almost everyone is dealing with the same exact things. I've been off Nexium for about 2 days now and I'm still dealing with the side effects but I know this drug takes about 72 hrs to completely leave your system so I'm hoping and praying that these horrible feelings start to subside quickly! I've never felt so bad in all my life .. I'm a very healthy person otherwise!! I would not recommend this med to even my worst enemy! | F | 34 | 3 weeks 20 mg | 6/4/2015 | 5 | gerd | Dry mouth and tired all the time | it helps but still have stomach acid and pain | M | 50 | 10 years 80 | 5/21/2015 | 5 | GERD, possible Ulcer | Occasional constipation, insomnia. | After 3 months of constant vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea I decided to see the Dr. She prescribed Nexium thinking of GERD or possibly an Ulcer. Within 3 days I was feeling great, still had some stomach cramps, but that was it. Good to go for almost 3 months. I missed ONE side, ands all my symptoms came back within a day! Nexium has saved me! I'll never miss a dose again. | F | 32 | 3 months 40 MG/day | 5/13/2015 | 5 | GERD | I tried many drugs for my stomach related problems and I never found one that I was fully satisfied with until I came across Nexium. It works wonders. | F | 14 | 2 years 40 MG | 5/10/2015 | 1 | GERD | Anxiety, heart racing, high blood pressure, headache, foggy head, tinnitus (ringing in ears). Abdominal pain in right shoulder, arm and ribs. Feeling like my liver wants to explode but the doc says you can't feel liver pain that way. Woke up one day deaf in my left ear. | Went to my GP who thought I may have had a stroke. She sent me to the ER. Hospital doctor asked if I was on any meds. Told her Nexium and she immediately said thats it. Stop taking it immediately or the hearing problem may become permanent!!! In short...was sent to ER with suspected stroke by my GP. It was the Nexium and if I'd continued to take it could have gone deaf. DO NOT TAKE. It did help my stomach tremendously but the side effects were terrifying. Took 6 days for my hearing to return to my left ear. DO NOT TAKE. DO NOT TAKE. | M | 33 | 5 weeks 40 1X day | 5/6/2015 | 1 | GERD | Caused severe constipation, bloating and depressive episodes although it did completely relieve my GERD. Switched back to Pepcid. | M | 61 | 20 days 30 1X day | 5/4/2015 | 3 | reflux | Bloat constipation upper abdominal stinging muscle aches | Works perfectly for acid reflux, could actually eat again. However the side effects are almost unbearable at times and I cant continue going through this! Had no idea there were so many having the same problems Ive had. | F | 40 | 6 months 30mg | 4/24/2015 | 2 | Gerd I had severe nausea and hiccup | It worked great for my problem. But I have always been in great shape the perfect weight blood pressure everything all the sudden I've gained over 30 pounds and my blood pressure is going up now on blood pressure medicine due to this my legs and hips kill me I can walk so far they hurt so I just quit it 2 days ago cold turkey having a little bit of heartburn but I'm just taking Rolaids I wont take it again ....... | I'm hoping it doesn't take long to get back to normal I also had numbness in my right upper thigh which came on shortly after taking it but I never put two and two together .

Now OTC. | F | 1X day | 4/13/2015 | 4 | GERD | I've been having severe headaches ever since I restarted taking Nexium. I took Nexium quite a few years ago and forgot I had to quit taking it due to the severity of the headaches. Note I've had to stop taking it again. I've also noticed I haven't had an appetite but I'm not sure if it's due to the Nexium or not. | It helps tremendously for the severe GERD symptoms like the reflux, esophageal pain and spasms, and swallowing difficulty. | F | 44 | 1 years 20mg | 4/3/2015 | 3 | Gastro Reflux | Aches in arms, wrists, shoulders and neck.
