I didn't know where else to put this so I stuck it here. Has anyone here ever taken Nexium or had a family member who has taken it? I have taken Aciphex for heartburn for the past 3 years or so with wonderful results. My Dr. switched me to Nexium because he said it would be cheaper. I was only on this stuff for like 2 weeks, and it was horrible. It handled the heartburn well enough, but it gave me horrible side effects. While I was on it, I felt nautious all the time, bloated to no end, muscle and body aches like crazy and even blood in my poop everytime. So all this scared me, so he switched me back to the Aciphex. Now, I have been off Nexium for about 3-4 weeks and all the side effects have cleared ecept for the body aches. From my neck, to my shoulders and from my back across to my chest, I am in MAJOR pain on a daily basis. My workouts have sucked now for the past 6 weeks because I either don't feal like lifting or hurt to bad when I do. I have read other accounts where people had similar reactions as me for up to a month after stopping. This is getting ridiculous though. Has anyone else out there gone through anything similar?
