I thought it was working until I developed severe stomach cramps that wouldn't go away. Got scoped and discovered I had fairly severe damage to the esophagus which had reduced the efficiency of swallowing down to 10%. Don't assume the medication is working unless you get checked. They switched me to omeprazole. 2 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I had severe dyspepsia. Fantastic results even taking one pill every 2-3 days, until 3-4 weeks in I began having diarrhea. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Nexium seemed to be the answer for the first 3 years but lately it has fallen short and all the pain has returned with vengeance. There always was the side effects of headaches, gas and elevated blood pressure. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

After using Nexium for many years, I have abdominal pain and lots of wind and constant diarrhea. Loperamide did not control this. Now I am on a strict no carbohydrate, no dairy and no caffeine diet. It is working at this time, June 2009. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

This drug is incredible. I had trouble every time I drank orange juice or lemonade. When I take Nexium I can drink both without pain. It's wonderful. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I have used Nexium for 3 years because it is the only cure for gastroesophageal reflux disease. I have tried all the other drugs and non of them even provide 50% relief. Nexium is a gift from God. 5 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Nexium worked great for me too. After two years of use I developed high blood pressure. Maybe related to Nexium (known rare side effect) or maybe not. Stopping the drug seems not possible. Heartburn comes back, and it is very severe. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I have tried everything to ease the pain and discomfort of acid reflux. Then I was introduced to the "purple pill", Nexium, about three years ago and to my total surprise it worked. So now I'm a "firm believer" in the product. I'm very, very satisfied. Thank you Nexium! 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Excellent as long as I take it regularly. If I miss a dose I have heartburn right away. I wish there were some extended release form of this drug. 7 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

I have very severe acid refulx with esophagal ulcers. I have tried tons of other medications and this is the only one that has given me relief without needing to supplement with antiacids! I do experience headaches as a side effect but they are mild and worth the relief. 11 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
