I was also given a script for a PPI which I decided I wasn't going to take. The side effects of that drug were too scary for me. I think the Famotidine is working, so I will just stick with it. Have you had any side effects from Nexium??

Not sure how to answer. . The microscopic colitis I was finally diagnosed with after 7 months of diarrhea has four or five known medication triggers - and PPIs such as Nexium is one of them. NSAIDs and SSRI antidepressants are also triggers. I went off ibuprofen and Nexium and after the treatment for it I haven’t had any more trouble.

That said, they do state PPIs are not intended or recommended for long term use.
