| 5 | hip-knee replacement-sprained back | No side effects | A wonder drug for me. | M | 77 | 14 days 7 1/2 MG 1X day | 2/19/2024 | 5 | Osteoarthritis of the hip | 15 mg was too strong..got upset stomach ... 7.5 works very well for my hip and knee pain..while I wait for a hip replacement | 75 | 0 days 7.5 1X day | 6/1/2023 | 5 | Taking mobic for hip and joint pain | Lightheaded at times when I first got on the medication then after being on it a while it went away and works very well on my arthritis pain and inflammation | Very very satisfied with this medication | F | 40 | 2 years 30mg 1X M | 7/9/2022 | 5 | back, hip, groin and thigh pain | Works wonders. I hate medication, and motrin 800 was not working. Taking mobic relieved my pain within 10 hours and I can walk without any pain. I did notice for the first week I became very hyper..not sure if it's a side effect or just feeling good from not being in any pain. I also notice I have pretty vivid dreams, but they are not nightmares | F | 46 | 27 days 15 mg 1X day | 2/8/2021 | 5 | Osteoarthritis | Feelings of euphoria, great mood, increased patience, relief from pain and stiffness within a few days of starting, solid sleep, but built a tolerance after two months of taking. | Thanks to genetics I developed OA young. Mobic improved my quality of life significantly. I had the opposite mood changes as others, which shows this drug works wonders for some and is terrible for others. | F | 31 | 60 days 15 MG 1X day | 9/20/2020 | 5 | Back pain. | Low mood and headaches feeling. Dry and bleeding sinuses. | Husband takes it almost daily and has no problems. Not for everyone. | F | 64 | 2 days 15mg | 4/12/2019 | 5 | Severe pain related to disc injury | If you have mood swings or a mood disorder (ie bi polar, etc)- BEWARE. Mobic/Meloxicam caused the worst irritability/anger/sadness I've ever experienced. It's like turning up what's typically a volume 5/6 and blowing the speakers. I literally felt like I needed to be put in a psych ward- things that would typically test my patience absolutely infuriated me. I could hear myself, but felt helpless to control reactions. I wasn't suicidal, but I didn't want to be here if that makes sense. I'm pretty self aware and I hated myself while I was on this medication. I typically have manageable mood swings- this exacerbated it beyond belief. All this being said, it *completely took level 9 pain away when nothing else (Vicodin, etc) even touched it. For that reason, I'm still giving it a 5 because 8 days of emotional misery was worth the trade off from the unbearable physical pain. | F | 35 | 8 days 15mg 1X day | 8/23/2018 | 5 | Cervical radiculopathy | Eradication of pain. I had no other noticable side effects. | Due to pinched nerves in my neck, I'd been having pain in my shoulder for eight months until the doc gave me this stuff. After just two days at 7.5 mg the pain is GONE! After reading the awful side effects that some go through I decided to only take as needed. If the half life is 20 hours you only need to take it every other day. Also, you must take this with a full meal so that your digestive system isn't harmed. | M | 47 | 2 days 7.5 mg | 5/15/2018 | 5 | arthritis | None. It works wonderfully. | I only take as needed. | F | 72 | 7.5mg 1X day | 5/2/2018 | 5 | Knee replacement osteoarthritis fib | Happiness! | Previous very active, my bilateral knee pain (which led to back pain which probably led to plantar fasciitis) had crippled me to the point I could barely walk. Many years of trying different meds, then Mobic! In two days I was pain free-what a blessing. It has changed my life. | F | 50 | 7 days 15 MG 1X day | 4/8/2018 | 5 | Undifferentiated connective tissue | Recently developed hypertension, abnormal kidney function tests, shortness of breath. | I have been doing well for years on this drug & it has been a wonder drug for me but I am beginning to develop some what I think are cumulative side effects. | F | 71 | 13 years 7.5 mg | 8/16/2017 | 5 | Osteoarthristis | NONE | I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A SPOKESPERSON FOR THIS PRODUCT I FULLY BELIEVE IT IS FANTASTIC. HAS BEEN SO GOOD FOR ME . TODAY I JUST TURNED 80 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NO ACHES OR PAIN. DOES NOT UPSET MY STOMACH., LIKE PREVIOUS MED. DID. IS VERY GOOD FOR ME.. | F | 80 | 10 years 15 mg. 1X day | 5/1/2017 | 5 | Seronegative Spondyloarthropathy | Perhaps a slight, dull headache. Could also be from the weather changes. | Five years of progressive, constant hand/wrist stiffness and pain, with flares of excruciating and debilitating episodes are finally GONE! And with something as simple as a beefed-up NSAID. I feel like I've been given my life back. :) | F | 34 | 3 days 15mg QD | 8/1/2016 | 5 | Pain from hip replacements 3 yrs ag | Shortness of breathe, but only for a couple of hours right after I take it. | This drug has helped me so much. I see the horrible ratings it has but everyone is different so I would recommend at least trying it. I went from sometimes having to use a crutch to being able to walk my dog for half an hour at a time twice a day, and this change has occurred in less than a week! I am extremely happy and thankful, as is my dog! Oh, I have been suicidal in the past and am diagnosed as bi-polar, but have had zero mood issues taking this....so anyway, good luck to you! | F | 49 | 5 days 15mg | 4/26/2016 | 5 | osteoarthritis | no side effects. | I have tried a dozen NSAIDS and nothing works as well as meloxicam. Naproxen is almost as good but not as long-acting. | M | 64 | 9 months 7.5mg 1X day | 3/15/2016 | 5 | Knee osteoarthritis and TKRs | Only side effect in all these years has been disturbing dreams if take my dose at night so take it each morning. Dr does labs each year with no damage. | Just had knee replacements in October and November 2015. Continuing Mobic as I recover successfully. | F | 66 | 3 years 15mg | 3/12/2016 | 5 | Back pain | Ulcer | Tried other medications, including Celebrex, which did not work. Mobic is the only one that takes the back pain away and I'm very grateful. It had given me a peptic ulcer so we had to up the dosage of Nexium. Totally worth it for me. | F | 48 | 6 months 15 MG 1X day | 1/3/2016 | 5 | arthritis in my hands | None | I had lots of pain in my hands, as I work with steel parts in a factory. This helped immensely ! And I had NO side effects. I recently had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands, and am now cutting back to 7.5 mg a day, and hopefully down to none soon. | F | 56 | 11 months 15 mg 1X day | 12/5/2015 | 5 | arthritis | No side effects | I take Meloxicam for all over body pain twice a week. It has been a lifesaver. I'm virtually pain free. Without it I can barely function. | F | 57 | 3 months 7.5 mg | 9/27/2015 | 5 | fibromyalgia | Some diarrhea. Stomach distention. Bruising. Increased sleep quality. | The day after my first dose I had an upset stomach. I actually had an accident in my pants. I thought it was gas, but was sorely mistaken. The pain however was very much decreased. I cut back to 7.5 mg for 3 days and got less pain relief results. I started taking 15 mg again, and have had no diarrhea, and the only side effects I can tell is stomach distention which I can live with. I've also had some bruising. My sleep quality is unbelievably better. I have a sleep disorder, and insomnia has almost ruined my life. I am now getting 9 hours of sleep per night. I'm trying to see if I can cut that back to 8 hours because that's what my sleep disorder doctor has prescribed for me. I use the Sleep Cycle app, and according to it I have been getting better sleep quality. In the upper 90% which is incredible! I usually get 3 good nights of sleep staggered throughout the week. The pain is not completely gone, but I no longer have severe pain. I can put my shirt on and take it off with no pain. I can roll over at night with no pain. | F | 46 | 8 days 15 mg 1X day | 1/8/2015 |
