I have a cronic cough for the last 2 years. I recently was dignosed with 2 ulcers through the lining of my vocal cord. I still cough but not as much however I seem to be more forgetful. I am not sure if that is related to this medication.

I have been dealing with GERD for 8 years and this finally hepls. I have my good days and my bad but overall this has helped. My only problem is how much it costs. I dont have health insurance and I was told that it is very expensive. I sure hope I can afford it.

This med has worked as well as the Prevacid that my insurance company no longer covers. I received a special allowance for coverage by participating in a study. I do not have any of the listed side effects. I am concerned about my long term usage. I have been on a proton pump inhibitor now for 6 years. Nexium almost killed me. I will be checking my bone density soon. Magnesium levels have been fine, but I do take a multivite regularly. Never changed my diet, occasional drink, no break-through. I am on 30 mg daily, take it in the morning with my coffee. My esophagus healed with little to no scarring. Due for another scoping, and researching the magnetic bead ring for permanent, medicine free relief.

I still get heartburn but not as bad but the prevacid was the best!!!! Causing constipation and isn't the best for heartburn. Which I could go back to the REAL heartburn medicine!!
