Chest tightness and esophagal spasms. Dizziness and dry mouth.Insomnia. | Did not solve the reflux and horrible side effects. Second time trying it which confirmed prior experience. Switched to Gaviscon Advance. | F | 56 | 3 days 20 2X day | 1/13/2022 | 1 | Reflux | Tight chest and terrible stomach | F | 57 | 45 days 20 1X day | 1/6/2022 | 2 | Esophagitis, GERD, H Pylori | Blurry vision, fatigue, bloating, brain fog, tinnitus, dry mouth and throat | I can't even tell if it somewhat helped me or just my diet and lifestyle changes made the difference. The side effects are too much, though. The doctors prescribe it like it's nothing but it left me mostly bedbound. I can't leave the house alone as I'm too weak to move, it's hard to shower, I can't cook for myself anymore. At 27 I became dependant on my parents. Now I'm afraid of acid rebound if I quit it. | 27 | 40 days 40 1X day | 12/1/2021 | 1 | Gerd | Terrible side effects. Lightheadedness which gets worse when standing. Extreme feeling of weakness. Racing resting pulse over 140 bmp. Awful anxiety and panic attacks requiring valium for relief. Have been to ed six times in the last year. Makes you feel 100 years old. I have been bed ridden and unable to work for over a year. Walking is a big struggle. I have been gradually weaning off the nexium. I use gaviscon dual action tablets now when needed and feel 100 times better. Almost back to my old self again. Nexium is an awful med. Get of it ASAP!!!!!! | M | 46 | 2 years 20mg 1X day | 10/19/2021 | 1 | I was prescribed this by my doctor for burping and it made me so sick . I never had acid reflux before taking this and now I do , I had to go to the hospital at 3.30am after vomiting stomach for 6 hours straight , I became very anxious , I had strange rashes on my arms , I woke up wheezing and a month later I've still got the acid reflux | F | 25 | 14 days 1X day | 9/29/2021 | 3 | Reflux | I suffer from anxiety and palpitations I have also developed lots of small polyps on my stomach lining! | I have heard a lot of negative comments about the extended use of Nexium I have tried several times to stop using it without success my reflux is so bad if I stop or even reduce the dose I also have developed IBS which I am told can be caused by an insufficient amount of acid to digest food properly!? Has anyone stopped taking this drug without suffering extreme reflux, if so how?? | M | 74 | 12 years 20mg 1X day | 9/16/2021 | 1 | GERD | Restlessness, muscle cramps in legs & arms, muscle spasms, muscle tightness, twitching, anxiety (comes and goes), agitation (probably from all the side effects) | I will never take this drug again. Today is day #2 for me getting off this poison. Still don't feel any better but will take it day by day. I'm a healthy male and this garbage has left me having a difficult time walking. | M | 36 | 3 months 20 MG 1X day | 8/5/2021 | 1 | GERD | Do not take!! My GERD is so bad I wake up choking in my sleep. I thought this was my miracle pill (no heartburn in months) but the past few days I've had anxiety so bad to the point where I thought I was having a heart attack and asked my boyfriend to take me to the ER. Chest and back pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, etc. I happen to read the back of my pill bottle yesterday which brought me here. I read everyone's reviews and was in tears because I've been so stressed out trying to figure out what's wrong with me. I'll take terrible heartburn and choking in my sleep over feeling like I'm having a heart attack ANY DAY. Worst feeling ever. | F | 28 | 6 months 20mg 2X day | 7/16/2021 | 1 | Gerd | Extreme bloating, Foggy brain, Constipation | I stopped it one month ago and I've had extreme bloating the whole time hopefully the symptoms will go away. Doing all homoeopathic. | F | 38 | 0 years 80mg 2X day | 6/13/2021 | 2 | Stomach ulcer | Have always took 20mg of esomeprazole for acid reflux never had any issues. Was diagnosed with stomach ulcer in May and GI doctor upped to 40 mg 20mg in the morning 20 mg in the evening. Stomach ulcer pain feels better by god the side effects. Heart racing every morning, palpitations, feeling shaky and not really being there if it makes sense and some kind of brain fog. Back next week for repeat endoscopy will ask can I reduce and go back on 20mg. I have never felt this odd in my life. | F | 31 | 2 months 20mg 2X day | 6/11/2021 | 1 | Acid reflux, indigestion | The negative reviews are TRUE!!!!! Had anxious feelings all throughout taking it, chest pressure, heart palpitations, tingling/tightening/weakness/spasms in forearms and legs, tightening of both sides of my neck along the artery. Severe brain fog and headache. Pain behind eyes. Trip to ER proved it's not my heart. No History of depression, anxiety or panic attacks EVER. Makes you feel very emotional and out of your body. Do not take this drug. 1 40mg tablet taken at 930am did not leave my system until I slept it off and woke up the next morning. I agree with the other reviewers. Take a natural route to resolving your GI issues. Prebiotics, probiotics, strict diet. Heal leaky gut and reduce inflammation in your stomach by NOT EATING INFLAMMATORY FOODS. Get a food allergy test and avoid those foods. | Product was RECALLED IN 2020, I believe. Open to filing lawsuit. | F | 37 | 5 days 40mg 1X day | 5/7/2021 | 1 | Gerd & h pylori | Soon as a took my first pill about 30 minutes later it gave me a lump in my throat ... feel nauseous and constantly keep coughing | F | 40 | 1 days 40mg 1X day | 4/26/2021 | 1 | Hiatus Hernia | I only took this medication as needed so it took me some time to figure out that this drug was making me ill. Developed severe anxiety symptoms, never had anxiety before, Ended up in hospital with suspected heart attack or stroke. Also suffered diarrhoea, exhaustion, severe headache, pins and needles in hands and feet. Neck pain. Tremors all over. Felt like I was dying. Still having some of the symptoms 4 months after stopping Nexium. Not anyway as severe but still frustrating to manage. Anyone else having long-term effects after stopping medication. Really scary medication. . | I feel like I have developed fibromyalgia but waiting for tests in the next week to confirm. | F | 60 | 2 years 1X AN | 4/20/2021 | 1 | Helicobacter | Insomnia, bad anxiety, some shaking, dry mouth at night, constant saliva being produced during day, moderate diarrhoea (3 times a day) | Avoid it if possible | M | 41 | 7 days 20mg 2X day | 3/3/2021 | 3 | Acid reflux | Stopped taking Nexium 5 days ago due to burning/needle/numbness sensation on my hand, feet and upper back. Felt tired and weak. 5 days after stopping Nexium burning/needle/numbness effect has reduced significantly and I am feeling a lot less tired but still present. I am afraid it might not go away. | Helped a lot in reducing the acid reflux but this medication has some serious side effects. Be cautious. | M | 34 | 21 days 20 1X day | 2/28/2021 | 4 | Acid Reflux | I had been taking Nexium for 2 days. On the second day I started experiencing dry mouth.
