I'm starting a post .. it's called I hate Nexium!

[rach_81]

These are killing me. I can't eat a single thing, before I could stomach a little but now I feel so sick all the time. I dread each morning and night when I need to take them - I assume it's the Nexium but it could be the other drugs that I am taking along with it for my ulcer.

Has anyone else had bad effect from it? After I have one and for hours after I have this strong metallic taste in my mouth that last for ages and is not pleasant.

I hope all this is worth it!

Also - has anyone had ulceration of the esophagus? I have chest pain as well as the ulcer in my stomach and have ruled out heart etc with test after x-ray after test so he believes my esophagus is a little ulcerated. I find I can't even walk a long distance let alone play sport without pain. Will the nexium fix this as well as I am hoping that I return to my normal healthy (and not hungry) self.

What other drugs are you taking along with the Nexium?

I don't have any problems with the Nexium. My nausea and stomach acid problems are from the Prednisone I take. Maybe one of your other meds are causing it?

um Klacid & Amoxil x 2?

Bugger I thought it was the Nexium ... if it's the others than I take back the name of this post!

Nexium worked like a charm for 6 days for me, then made me sick to my stomach, bloating, stomach pain and cramps, gas, went off of it on day 12, stayed off for 5 days, thought I'd give it another chance, went back on it, was increasingly miserable by day 5, STOPPED IT. I can not tollerate the PPI's, I have been on all of them, and they all mess me up. I went off of Nexium last Sunday, began taking 40 mg of Pepsid at night, eating very bland through the day, Rice mainly, and today is the best day I've had in almost 3 months. I can only hope this continues.
