| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR NEXIUM | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | GERD & Hiatal hernia | severe migraines, hip and joint pain, dizziness. | I corrected the issue with fundoplication (sp?) surgery but I do know that this particular surgery is not for everyone. Discovered I had CELIAC disease which is the primary cause of GERD and hernias. Can be detected with a simple blood test. It is commonly misdiagnosed and is estimated that 1 in 100 have this diesease. Symptoms cease with diet correction. | F | 32 | 19 months | 4/3/2007 | 3 | GERD | Bloating, constipation, weight gain, muscle aches and weakness stomach pain | Nexium works great on my Acid Reflux, however, the side effects are becoming so great I think I will have to find an alternative. I was on Protonix for 2 years and developed a B12 deficency | F | 51 | 3 months | 4/2/2007 | 3 | Acid Reflux | While it seems to be helping my acid reflux, Nexium caused severe dizziness, intestinal pain, and a horrible taste in my mouth (like vomit). I am still on it and I am hoping that this dizziness goes away - it is hard to walk! | F | 18 | 7 days | 3/29/2007 | 5 | Acid reflex | None | Great med after I started to take it right. I was taking 40mg rt before more my meal. I discovered I was suppose to take it approx 60 minutes before my meal. It works WAY better than Protonix or even Prevacid. Recommend take it RIGHT at least 30/60 min before your meal. | M | 40 | 2 years | 3/27/2007 | 5 | heartburn/Barrets Syndrome | None at all | This drug is great, heartburn was part of my life as long as I remember, unknown to me this was causing big issues inside and could lead to Cancer. From the first night I took this drug the symptons stopped. I will never give this one up. | M | 47 | 1 years | 3/27/2007 | 3 | LPR, help with singing | Increased feelings of stomach acid, chills, nausea in the evenings, occasional vomiting. | I started taking this about two months ago to help with my Laryngopharyngeal reflux, and it's helped my voice...I can hit my high notes much more easily than I used to be able to. But the side effects are a little unnerving. I'm worried that they're going to get worse. If they do, I'd rather switch than deal with the nausea and chills. | F | 21 | 50 days | 3/23/2007 | 1 | acid reflux | sore feet, tingling hands, severe abdominal pain ,headaches | Just decided one day the cure was causing more problems than the symptoms which have decreased significantly since I quit taking Nexium. My opinion thumbs down! | M | 70 | 3 months | 3/17/2007 | 1 | gerd | muscle cramps, headache, stmach cramps | not worth it, was taking prilosec but changed to nexium because my insurance covered the script. going back to prilosec had no side effects with it | F | 56 | 18 days | 3/14/2007 | 2 | hiatus hernia | all like most of the others face pain, sweats/panic attacks, dizzy,not thinking straight,flushes pain over eyes arms legs pins and needles, neck pain , cramps much more but not alot of space...... | i have come off of it and am going homeapath much safer and does not damage you in later life has anyone used protuim/pranspolzole what is this like and what side effects does it have | F | 36 | 1 years | 3/6/2007 | 2 | hiatus hernia | all what most people said face pain, sweats panic attacks poor contraction, musle pain pains in hands and arms could go on and on thinking some days that i was having a heart attack. | i am coming off them has anybody tryed pantoprazole/protuim/40mg and what are the side affects. | F | 36 | 1 years | 3/6/2007 | 5 | acid relux/heartburn | none | Works really well | M | 44 | 2 years | 3/4/2007 | 1 | gerd | diarrhea, gas, nightmares | I was told by physician I had gerd due to endoscopy exam for pain in the upper right quadrant. I have never felt any acid reflux until the morning of the surgery when I was nervous about the anesthesia. The pain in the upper right quadrant is still present. | F | 52 | 2 weeks | 3/1/2007 | 2 | acid reflux | fatigue, wheezing, | taking off and on for 3 years.......... | F | 47 | 2.5 years | 2/28/2007 | 1 | Acid reflux and Gerd | Numbness in feet, legs, hands, arms, and jaw. Thought I was having a stroke. Was rushed to emergency room via ambulance. Did some testing and they said low Calcium levels. Brought on Anxiety. Couldn't sleep. Up every 2 or 3 hours. Night sweats and hot flashes. This was the only medicine I was taking. | This medicine stopped working anyways. I had doubled my dose from 40 mg to 80 when all this happened. Stopped taking it and now and I am feeling better everyday. | F | 43 | 1 years | 2/28/2007 | 3 | acid reflux, gastritis | 1 dose a day of 1 pill worked somewhat, but still experienced same symptoms if I ate tomatoes or tomatoe products, fruit, spices, green chili, big meals, and the list goes on... My doctor has perscribed me a double dose now because he says I'm stuck with the problem. There's got to be another way to fight these problems. | I fear my protein and calcium absorbtion will be decreased, which will increase my risk for osteoperosis and other conditions. I'm going to try homeopathic remedies along with taking this drug to see if I can quit Nexium someday. My doctor says my esophogeal sphincter won't stop relaxing- causing acid...calming the acid down is the only way so far. | F | 31 | 2 years | 2/21/2007 | 2 | GERD | I have acne on my face, Never ever had acne in my life. Pain in my abdominal area. I am better off not taking any medicine because of the strong side effects and just living with gerd | M | 46 | 20 days | 2/16/2007 | 1 | Barrett's esophagus | Headaches, brassy taste in mouth, tightening in throat, feeling as though food stuck in throat, espohageal spasms (painful and non-painful), upper back pain, elbow pain both sides, cramps in thumbs, arches, and calves, rash arms, forearms, shins, and underarms, heartburn, elevated liver enzymes. | Side effects began the first day taking the nexium, doctor told me he's never seen any of these side effects with nexium. I actually got heartburn from the drug, it's supposed to treat heartburn. When I quit nexium, the heartburn immediately went away, the rest of the side effects have taken months to improve, but are still present. | F | 43 | 10 weeks | 2/15/2007 | 2 | acid reflux | Nightmares; vivid, weird, disturbing. | This side effect is listed in the PDR. | F | 55 | 5 days | 2/13/2007 | 4 | Inflammed stomach | Severe Dizziness, fatigue, stomach cramps | Seems like its working | F | 31 | 7 days | 2/9/2007 | 5 | GERD and hiatal hernia | Stomach pain that went away and now dry mouth. | TOOK AWHILE TO WORK EVEN WHEN I WAS TAKING IT TWICE A DAY BUT NOW IM DOWN TO ONCE A DAY AND COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT IT!! | F | 33 | 9 months | 1/31/2007 |
