Very effective, and my symptoms were severe. Many reviewers note diarrhea, but I've had none at all! BUT, I've experienced irritability and anxiety. I've never had this before. I feel like I could jump out of my skin, I can't sit still, & I have trouble focusing on anything. I feel the "restless leg" thing in my legs and arms too. It's driving me nuts. I'm stopping this med today.

It's not worth it. I will continue to use Zantac 150 and see if I can supplement with so ...

I have taken Dexilant 60 mg for over two years. I've never had any of the side effects that other reviewers have experienced.

After 2 years on Nexium I developed Osteoprosis. Lost 40% bone density bcoz of loss of calcium. You need acid to build up calcium. So i stop Nexium and went on Calcium regimen. Also, I drink Water every hour and before sleeping and halfway in my sleep i drink a glass of water to stabilize stomach acid. It works, No more Nexium for more than a year now. Goodbye Nexium hello Water !!!!
