I was on nexium. I started having tummy problems right out of college. Throwing up for no reason, diarhhea, that stuff. I was diagnosed with irratible bowel syndrome. they put me on nexium and i took it ever day for like 6 months. I remember it taking a bit to work & I still took pepto for immediate relieve. After the first six months I only took it when I got a bought of diarrhea or upset tummy. When I finally stopped taking it I was only taking it like once every 3 months. I stopped taking it completely because I read on MSN, I think, that it can cause heart problems. I was on it for a total of about 6 years.
