| Add Nexium review 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 !!!! Expensive but good.No side effects. depression, hard to breath some times, tightness in chest, lost feeling This is the forth proton pump inhibitor taken after the others built up side effects over 6 years.The Lansoprazole etc all noted take no antacidsThis does not say that but does warn against diazepam which I have been using for a few years.So I,m looking at my repeat prescriptions of gaviscon, diazepam and the hydrogen pumpers.So I,ve stopped the antacids gaviscon and diazepam .After day ... | Add Omeprazole review not good Absolute Disaster. Did not work at all....I have taken Omeprazole made by Mylan, and it worked. This was like taking candy. It had absolutely no effect at all. I have taken the medication for 2 years and it did relieve the constant sour stomach I had. My throat is not irritated and burning anymore either. It does increase some gas and burping sometimes but that is better than the alternative.I have had some constipation( not eliminating completely) and dizziness. My doctor suggested taking omeprazole once daily instead of twice and it helped with dizzin ... If i miss a dose for 2 days what harm will it do? I've had an awful burning feeling and bouts of vomiting.... | |||
