Nexium

Unfortunately and finally, I am diagnosed with acid hitting my throat (someone might know it by LPR). Also, the doctor told me that I am having a small stomach hernia which is stopping my sphincter to close. I wrote that I am “finally” diagnosed with LPR because I suffered from 6 months of pains until I was diagnosed with it. I went to three different doctors and all they said that that I am having allergies. They were telling me the same thing and they were prescribing me the same medications in order to help me but they didn’t work. So, I was searching for a doctor with a different opinion. Finally, I found one doctor who suggested that I am having a “silent acid reflux”. I told him that other doctors were telling me that I am having allergies and he replied that someone can easily misdiagnose them however, they’re totally different. Well, he said that I should cut out all the foods that are causing even more acid that in my case are affecting my ears and make them hurt (very bad). The doctor told me that I am having a lot of nerves through my throat that are going up to my ears and my sinuses which is making all this situation. Here’s the list of symptoms I am suffering: flaring up through the sinuses, a bad pain that is located in the back of my neck up to the top of my back head and (as I said) bad burning sensation to my ears. Overall, I had a pretty bad case of acid reflux and even so the nexium helped me, even though not fully. I was on this medication for more than 3 months and while I was on it, my flaring returned only with 15-40%. Moreover, I had a lot of bad side effects which never stopped. Doctor said to discontinue using Nexium in order to do some tests on checking how my GI works.

I have developed pains that were probably caused by endometriosis and my doctor prescribed me this medication. The doctor could not help me by any kind and I guess he gave me this drug only to see the effects or I’m not sure, anyway, Nexium didn’t helped me much! Well, as I remember, I had a little relief but it was very and very little, my pains were still constant and I was still struggling with these pains. I personally won’t recommend it to anyone who’s having pains. Maybe the drug really works for other conditions such as GERD and Barrett's Esophagus but it’s useless against pains caused by endometriosis. At least, for me. I would say more, this pill is overpriced! My insurance could not pay for all the pills I was prescribed so I was forced to spend money on an overpriced pill that was useless. I discontinued to use this drug for few months and I’m sorry that I have to leave a bad review about this pill but I really want to help other people to avoid spending their money on something that isn’t worth for. My doctor also prescribed me Buscopan, which is another useless drug, but I won’t talk about it here, I guess it should be discussed in another review! Good luck everyone and I hope that my review helped at least one person!

I am suffering from Acid Reflux for years. Doctors told me to take many kind of medications but none of them could help. Later I was told about Nexium. I've been taking it for years with good control for the acid reflux, therefore I could say that I’m pleasant with its effectiveness, however now I’m dependent on it. Now I can’t stop using it because whenever I attempt to do so, my disease comes back even worse than it was before I took the medication. I’ve heard that this medication has vitamin deficiency so whenever someone tries to stop taking it, Nexium causes excess acid of the stomach. It’s a really helpful drug for heartburn but you should take it for a short period of time. I’m a long term user of it and trust me my symptoms are not something you would want to have if I stop take it. I’m tired to buy this drug for so much time and to spend so much money. If you can avoid taking this drug then avoid it! If you don’t then I highly recommend you to ask your doctor about vitamin supplements and continuous stomach and blood work check. I have to admit that it worked great for these years but I cannot recommend this drug to others! Please take care and beware of this drug!
