"I've been taken it over 20 years with no side effects I think. I have only just read up on the bad side effects and there are so many that I decided to come off them last week. It was a bad idea, so bad, I now have heart burn with vengeance which shut me down for the day and I needed a 60 mg dose to get it under control .So now I am still taking my 20mg day every morning ."

"The dosage use of Nexium clearly states : "This medicine is usually given for 4 to 8 weeks only. Your doctor may recommend a second course of treatment if you need additional healing time." I do not understand some of the comments that state they have been using it for 20 years or 10 years !!! . and then complaint about secondary effects. I read the label and it states "24 HR" which is how long it lasts but in very small letters : " May take 1 to 4 days for full effect " It also says "Treats Frequent Heart burn". I will change my diet accordingly and use another Heart burn chemical. By the way meals prepared with ginger are very easy on the stomach."
