“Nexium the little purple pill” I had a 300 lb patient tell me she takes it so she can eat pizza after midnight. It’s only approved for short term use, but I see people on it for years. Stomach acid exists for a reason you dummy.
Don’t take any medication that hasn’t been on the market for ten years, especially something advertised on T.V.
Side effects may include but are not limited to
Anger, hostility, rage, suicide, suicidal thoughts,
Anxiety, Fear, Paranoia, Bloating, Gas, Piles, Heart
attack, Stroke, Blindness, Hearing loss, Glossolalia,
and death.......all this to have longer eye lashes?
Lyrica was sold as a wonder drug for nerve pain. Side effects are HORRENDOUS. 1 50 mg pill in 30 mins had every OA joint in my body screaming at puke level pain. It attacked my hands, feet, and back. Threw the things in the trash bin. My Primary Care doc worked in a pain clinic, said the failure rate was 50% because of the side effects.
All arthur meds have gastro side effects. Ask me I know, I’ve had them all until my arthritis doc threw up his hands and said there was nothing more he could do for me. This was after the drugs shut down my gastro intestinal system. Took 6 weeks to get each of the different ‘try’s’ out of my system.
My primary care doc gives me 7.5 mg of lore tab, anti-puke med, and 5 mg of valium twice a day. Makes life with OA and Fibromyalgia bearable.
Google the side effects of any new drug you are prescribed, get only a 1 week supply to see if it is feasible for you to take it, it will save you money in the long run.
