| 1 | Gastritis | Palpitations began 2 weeks in; gained 10lbs in weight in 4 weeks. Am now back on Zantac. | M | 44 | 4 weeks 40mg 1X day | 2/15/2012 | 1 | GERD | So glad I found this site. I have taken Nexium for a long time with no side effects. I now have so many of the side effects listed- "pins and needles", muscle aches and weakness, terrible anxiety, headaches, sinus problems, on and on. After reading a lot about the potential side effects I stopped taking Nexium. I don't know how long it takes to get it out of your system but I do notice a lessening in the side effects described. Nexium is probably good, short term but I will NEVER take it again. Hope I can find something else that works! | F | 70 | 7 years 40mg 2X day | 1/30/2012 | 1 | GERD | I have dry mouth, blurred vision, flatulance, some unexplained pain in my muscles and joints, a feeling of slight vertigo, thinning hair, and I keep getting larger around my abdomin. I want off of this stuff. | F | 65 | 10 years 40mg 1X day | 1/25/2012 | 3 | GORD/GERD | Diarrhea, loose stools, bouts of gas, eczema, inflammatory cystic type acne, increased shedding of scalp hair, regular headaches. | F | 25 | 6 months 40/20 | 1/23/2012 | 1 | Acid Reflux (GERD) | Heart burn, heart racing, burping | When I began Nexium, I felt great, but after a week I started to feel pain around my chest cavity. My heart would race, and when I went to my Dr. he said it must be something else...but the other day it got so bad where I spent 5 hours in an ER. After the 5 hours they prescribed me codeine for my pain. This morning I woke up feeling better, took the Nexium and now have the pain in my chest. DO NOT TAKE THIS! It is nothing but a problem!!!! ALSO! If you happen to burp from acid reflux, it doesn't go away with this pill like I thought, it only made it worse...I have been living with acid reflux since I was 14 and Nexium is the worst thing to take for it!! You are better off taking Malox or Zantac to help your acid reflux. | F | 18 | 4 weeks 40mg 2X day | 1/20/2012 | 5 | Reflux (GIRD) | None | Nexium works great. I have had reflux most of my life and have been on other prescriptions that are now over the counter meds (tagament, pepcid, prilosec). But Nexium is a definite improved on Prilosec (which owned by the same pharmaceutical company). | F | 46 | 3 years 40 MG 1X day | 1/17/2012 | 5 | Acid reflux, indigestion, heartburn | F | 19 | 3 days 40 mg | 1/16/2012 | 5 | acid reflux | Not sure there were any. see 8/15/11 entry. | I recommend Nexium!! I suffered for eight years with burning acid in my stomach and esophagus, vomiting, and eating only a bland diet. Had to prop my bed up in order to relieve the reflux at night. Started with 40 mg and then reduced to 20 mg after 4 yrs. Happy to say, I have been Nexium free since August and I feel great--just had an endoscopy and findings were "normal". My diet is now quite normal; however, I do not drink carbonated beverages or coffee, or eat garlic, and I limit chocolate and cabbage type vegetables. I drink 8 oz of water several times a day. I've also lost 25 lbs. I feel poor diet and overeating had major impact on my condition. | F | 68 | 8 years 20 mg 1X day | 1/10/2012 | 1 | Acid reflux / GERD / Hiatal Hernia | Nerve pains in both feet, pain in lower back, burning sensation in wrists, fluctuating vision. | I have been taking Nexium for about 10 years now. At first, it worked great...no heartburn, no side effects. However, over the last 2 years, I have started to have nerve pains in both feet, pain in my lower back, burning sensations in both of my wrists, and eyesight that fluctuates (sometimes very clear, other times very blurry). Every specialist I go to says everything is 'normal' and that I am 'healthy', but why I am feeling this way? It has affected my life very negatively, and I feel like it's getting worse and worse. If you have had similar symptoms, please email me. Thanks! | M | 31 | 10 years 40 MG 1X day | 1/10/2012 | 1 | nausea | I had crazy hot flashes every ten minutes. No sweating just burning up. Severe heart burn that I never had before taking the drug. The acid reflux burned my throat I cannot sing properly, and myy teeth hurt from the acid refux and Ihave bad breath from the acid reflux. Dry skin, crazy dry skin I don't even need to wash my hair after a week it's so dry. Before I had to wash it every day it would get so greasy. I used Chia seeds in water and drank that all day to absorb the acid to get off Nexium, it took me a week. | F | 51 | 6 months 40mg 1X day | 1/6/2012 | 5 | acid reflux | no side effects whatsoever | i have been taking nexium for six years, have NOT had ANY side effects in those 6 years, if i miss one day without taking my 40mg tablet my acid reflux returns with a vengence when i go to bed and wakes me up causing me to be sick, i recommend Nexuim for severe acid reflux, i am also on other medication for my kidney transplant and i still have no side affects from those medication, so nexuim is also safe to use with my anti rejection medication | F | 48 | 6 years 40 mg 1X day | 1/1/2012 | 3 | reflux | hands going to sleep, foot going to sleep, multiple CRAZY vivid dreams in a row. | have been on this drug for 2 days and have already had my hands and feet going to sleep throughout the day and night, and crazy wild vivid dreams. i just typed out 4 of them that i can remember just from last night! was up all night! and most of it was nightmarish!! anyone else want to talk about your side effects email me! -amanda | F | 32 | 2 days 40 mg 1X day | 1/1/2012 | 1 | Gerd | nightmares, sleepless nights,panic attacks, arm pain and weakness,headaches, tightness in my throat, diareha, anxiety, heart palpitations and a few more i am sure!!!!!!!! | This drug is the worst. I pray to god i can get back to normal or this drug has ruined my LIFE!!!!!!!!!! | M | 40 | 9 years 40mg 1X day | 12/29/2011 | 5 | Acid Reflux | all of a sudden I couldn't take Nexium anymore bad gas and some cramping. | Glimpride and JANUVIA took all my pills in morning now take Nexium 2 hours after the above meds. and after lunch working with out problems. I talked to other people seam Nexium has problems with other meds. taking after eating seam to work. All I know it stop the Acid pain even on a bland diet. | M | 49 | 8 years 40mg 1X day | 12/23/2011 | 3 | Acid Reflux | it was a wonder drug for the first three years. I was on and off of drug. Right now on it. Experiencing upper stomach pain. Have had in the past chest pain from Nexium, that hospitalized me, head aches, etc. But I have to say the only product that gives me relief. I know the side effects. This time the pain out weighs the benefits. Sorry~ | F | 50 | 7 years 40 MG 1X day | 12/21/2011 | 1 | helicobacter | insomnia, pins and needles, numbness of arm, neck pain, loss of appetite, diificulty swallowing, cough, weight loss | Took 20 mg Nexium as part of treatment for helicobacter. Then still had burping, chest pain and Dr prescibed 40mg Nexium. Awful Awful Awful that the treatment is worse than the illness. Really annoyed that the Dr who prescribed it dimisses my concerns and symptons as anxiety or pre menopausal. How can this stuff be ethically prescribed with no clear warnings or discussion about side effects. What I really want to know is how long before I feel normal again, which is hard when my Dr and chemist don't acknowledge any problems. | F | 46 | 9 days 20mg 1X day | 12/17/2011 | 5 | GERD and hiatal hernia | no real side effects; maybe need B-12 supplement | fantastic !! life saving drug for me - would be miserable without it - I miss a day and I really miss the relief it provides | F | 61 | 1 years 40 MG 1X day | 12/13/2011 | 3 | reflux symptoms | really bad gas upper right pain. shoulder pain .side pain . abdominal pain jiont pain. chest pain weight gain. hair loss | i have been on nexium for 4 years without any problems .but recently developed really bad pains in my right side. very bad chest pain abdominal pain .really really bad wind going to docs to try something else don,t trust it anymore | F | 57 | 4 years 40mg 1X day | 12/13/2011 | 1 | gastritis caused by H.Pylori | severe/constant stomach pain, VERY bad headaches(daily), dry mouth, pins and needles in feet, earaches(daily), dizzyness, aching joints/muscles | Horrible,horrible medication! Wouldn`t recommend it to anyone. I rather have the heartburn than take it for another day! I do not even know why my doctor put me on Nexium after endoscopic exam as Omeprazole worked fine for me before gastro-endoscopic examination. Going back on that one now and just wish I had never tried this horrible medication! | F | 33 | 18 days 40mg 1X day | 12/11/2011 | 4 | GERD | M | 27 | 4 months 30MG 1X day | 11/29/2011 |
