Nexium (esomeprazole) "Being on this medicine for the first 5 days was hard, felt sicker than ever with symptoms of mild diarrhea, some hives, worst nausea, fatigue. This started to improve day 6. After being on it for a week, am almost back to normal. Felt like the drugs had to work on the H. Pylori, then the body had to work on getting the drug out of the body."

Nexium (esomeprazole) "Best for curing H. pylori. Nexium 20 mg half an hour before breakfast and half an hour before dinner. Also, my doctor suggested I use Frisium only at nighttime before sleep. Within 2 days, I started feeling better, and I used it for 1 month, but Frisium I only took for one week."

Nexium (esomeprazole) "It is good medication, as it helped me. It was 14 days of treatment, but its side effects, if they were strong for me, I suffered from anxiety, agitation, and tachycardia. But when the treatment was finished, the symptoms disappeared gradually."

Nexium (esomeprazole) "I don't usually write reviews but I think this will help someone out there. Nexium nearly finished me!!! 3 months of palpitations (high blood flow and high pulse rate) as if my heart will shut down the next minute. Can't sleep except aided by music. Can't sleep on my left side. Went for several ECGs (which always revealed trachycardia) then finally Echocardiogram which was quite revealing. Heart is okay but something keeps triggering my complaints. Doctor placed me on meds and ultimately by God's grace I'm okay now. If I sight this drug anywhere I will run"

Nexium (esomeprazole) "I hadn't realised that Nexium caused terrible headaches until I did a bit of research. The headaches started when I was being treated for HP and also on the days I took Nexium for stomach acid. The deal breaker was having to spend an entire day in bed (and a day off work) with such a painful headache I couldn't function. No over the counter pain relief helped with the pain, just sleeping it off. I throwing it in the bin and letting my GP know how I reacted!"

"H pylori diagnosed 2018. Tried ersomeprazole the worst of side effects were a significant deterioration of cognitive functions and palpitations. GP prescribed Fortisip drinks and being tired of these too. Tried omeprazole, lansoprazole and rabeprazole with same side effects. My lifestyle has changed radically from an active to a passive and strictly limited choices. Blended food and housebound. Had an endoscopy/ biopsy and different courses of antibiotics given and suspended because of traumatic side effects. Tried probiotics/probiotics and any other possible natural treatment and no improvement. Sleeplessness has become a major issue. Is any other remedies for H pylori considering that I am allergic to most of antibiotics?"

Nexium (esomeprazole) "I have tried other PPIs all have bad side effects. Nexium is ok with no side effects until now however different makes from different countries make the drug not always effective."
