I got really bad anxiety with this medication and had to stop it as already had anxiety and it was making it so much worse. I live in UK.
I am going through something similar now, with additional issues. My health got worse after I grabbed a box of Nexium, not realizing what ppis do. Now, I'm trying to wean myself off. I just had a doctor rage at me yesterday about how she's taken them for 10 years and is just fine. I have read about the awful consequences of ppis too. I think big pharma just cares about hooking people for life on them and the profits they get. I'm about at that point feeling the same about the whole US. medical system. I've been struggling with multi issues a few months now and although we get huge bills, I've not found an MD that really gives a whit about you as a patient. They get kickbacks from pharma companies to sell their meds. It's very frustrating.
