I'm healthy 35 year old man that never had and muscle pains until I took this medication and all of a sudden I have all these pains that are still lingering 1 month after I stopped taking this medication | M | 35 | 1 months 40mg | 2/8/2016 | 1 | Barretts grade3 | Tender painful muscle joints/tendon pain.General aching and fatigue.Fuzzy heads.Increased mucus in upper respiratory tract/cough.Severe bloating.cramps. | Has almost ceased the acid reflux…but at a cost of experiencing all these dreadful side effects.Have been referred back to hospital consutant. | M | 60 | 1 days 80mg | 1/3/2016 | 2 | Acid reflux | Both myself and my partner took it on separate nights and both suffered really bad nightmares the night we took it. Maybe just coincidence | M | 45 | 1 days 20 | 1/2/2016 | 1 | Stomach acid. Reflux. | Stomach pain and dizziness and on the 4th day got a severe rash on most of the top half of my body. Called a locum and said stop nexium right now and take Zrytec or Clarantyne. | Worst drug I have taken since I don't take anything but Panadol for an occasional headache and by the way I think reflux etc. messes with sinus as well because I have had sinus migraine since Nexium and acid and teflux etc. I took 2 Panadol for headache and now 4th day into taking Nexium rashed out on my body. | F | 53 | 4 days 40 mg | 12/29/2015 | 5 | GERD & Hiatal Hernia | Occasional muscle cramps in the legs, nausea and stomach cramps and dry mouth. | I can live with the side effects to prevent esophageal cancer. I tried other medications but they did not work. | F | 51 | 2 years 40 mg | 12/28/2015 | 1 | Gerd | Swollen lymph nodes in neck could hardly move my neck so much pain | My advise is never ever take this drug ruined my life my marriage did so much damage to my body took me 6 months to wean myself of it i now use aloe vera juice | M | 54 | 2 years 40mg 1X day | 12/24/2015 Patient History | 4 | GERD | Muscle pain, back pain, joint pain | The side effects appear really fast. In the second day i felt a back pain,the third a lowerbackpaim, the fourth a headache. But after the 7th day no side effects. It helped the GERD, so better take it in low doses and not for more than month if you have the same problem | M | 22 | 10 days 20mg | 12/18/2015 | 1 | GERD/ Cancer | Nose dripping clear,severe muscle cramps/twitching in my arm and legs, burning nose, horrible taste in my mouth,face swollen,headache,throwing up,can't eat,smell of foods make me nauseous,feel tired and run down,back pain,throat and neck killing me etc.. This is only a week or so in. | I would've never taken this medication knowing all of the side effects!!! | F | 42 | 7 days 2xdaily | 11/1/2015 | 2 | Duodenum ulcer | I experienced migraine, dizziness, lightheadedness, confusion, double vision, shaking, trouble breathing. | I'm sure it's a great medication for those who can take it without issue but it made it near impossible for me to get through a regular day. | F | 13 | 7 days 20 MG | 10/28/2015 | 5 | GERD | None known, but I have been experiencing ringing in the ears which I had to some extent before I started taking it. Also joint pain, but again, I have had some joint pain to some extent before I started taking it. | Acid reflux has been terrible, but since I have been taking this, gone. I have high blood pressure and diabetes, so I reduced to one tablet every 2nd or 3rd day, and still good. I recommend to those who experience side effects to try what I did. | M | 54 | 900 days 40 MG 1X day | 10/18/2015 | 1 | To reduce stomach acid | severe headache Shoulder pain Neck pain | F | 39 | 3 days 20mg | 10/18/2015 | 1 | GERDS, Esophagitus | It took a while, but the side effects kicked in, especially once I started taking the drug as it is intended (AM before eating anything). Extreme (crippling) anxiety, nausea, blood pressure increase, tinnitus (ringing in ears) at night, mild dizziness. Tried to get off the drug, but acid reflux returned with a vengeance AND nausea increased 10 fold. | Worked to reduce my GERDS. Probably a good drug to use for a week or two, but beyond that pay attention to side effects and be aware that acid rebounding makes this drug very difficult to quit. | M | 41 | 8 weeks 20 mg 1X day | 10/7/2015 | 5 | Hiatal Hernia | NONE! | MAJOR Heatburn and Late night acid attacks going into my lungs almost killed me! I wouldn't wish anyone to experience acid in the lungs. This pill saved my life ! Only other option was surgery and Dr was against that. Expensive at about $100 a month. If there are side effects I haven't had any or don't know if I'm having them since I've been taking them for over 10 years! | M | 41 | 10 years 1X day | 9/26/2015 | 5 | 2008 | No really side effects except diarrhoea. Than it stopped working | Now I its 2015 and I found out I have degenerative disc disease in my neck. I heard long time use of nexium causes bone dificent | F | 30 | 2 years 40mg | 9/23/2015 | 1 | GERD, mild gastritis | lower abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea | Diagnosed with GERD after endoscopy (though never experienced heartburn or regular symptoms until briefly trying Prilosec OTC). Originally given Prilosec/omeprazole by Rx, but denied by insurance co. so given this instead. Immediately caused constant lower abdominal pain (colonoscopy done at same time, no abnormalities), unusual changes in bowel movements (usually extremely watery diarrhea), and noticeable sensitivity to temperature changes. Told GI doc about reactions; nurse originally skeptical that meds were the cause, even though issues started with PPI therapy. Eventually switched to Protonix 40mg/day, which was much more tolerable, but abdominal pain remained. Per family doc's advice, got off PPIs a few days ago and returned to ranitidine. Apply critical thinking when your doc tells you to take PPIs indefinitely. Should be a red flag, as peer-reviewed studies have shown them to be unsafe for long-term use. | M | 32 | 5 weeks 40mg 1X day | 9/19/2015 | 5 | Hiatal Hernia | Eliminated my menopausal hot flashes. | Love it | F | 53 | 6 months 30 mg 1X day | 9/13/2015 | 5 | Acid reflux/Hiana Hernia | I love Nexium! It's a life saver! It completely gets rid of my severe acid reflux! I have tried everything out there but this medicine is truly by far the best. My Gastro doc prescribed it after having dilated my esaphugus due to a hiatal hernia. There are some side effects with most drugs out there but these side effects are tolerable. I have dry mouth, hunger and fatigue and some achiness through out my body while taking it and some brain fog as well. | lts the best for heart burn | F | 38 | 10 days 20 | 9/2/2015 | 5 | GERD | None | I had severe heartburn and after taking for two weeks felt so much better and symptoms stopped | F | 53 | 2 weeks 22.3 mg | 8/19/2015 | 2 | h pylori | sore muscles, anxiety, stomach cramps dizziness, depression | never suspected nexium all these while, was on omeprazol, then nexium. was feeling good till lately. am gonna give it space and see how it goes. | M | 28 | 2 weeks 40 | 8/11/2015 | 1 | bloating hiatal hernia | Sore front teeth burning feeling in gums & tongue extreme fatigue exhaustion phembgh sinusitis & rhinitis feeling that ears were stopped up dry mouth and just overall muscle aches and pains | Went off this poison 48 hrs ago after reading list of side effects possible. Every symptom I am experiencing is on the most common side effects list. That's enough for me. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!!! | F | 68 | 2 weeks 20 mg | 8/9/2015 |
