| 1 | Plantar Faciatis | Kept my foot pain down. | After I stopped taking the drug, severe emotional distress and high blood pressure occured. 2 months off of the drug and no relief from the withdrawal yet. | M | 58 | 365 days 15 1X day | 2/10/2013 | 4 | knee pain | none | It worked but I needed to take it 2-3 days before I got its full effect. | F | 67 | 30 days 7.5MG 1X day | 12/7/2012 | 1 | Severe headache and neck stiffness | This medicine was given to me while in a hospital for unrelated treatment. The nurse gave me Mobic and right after a shot of heparin, about 5 minutes later my heart was pounding, severe chest pain and uncontrolled shaking. My husband run for the nurse and next thing I remember was waking up with at least 10 people around me, pads on my chest. I was going into respiratory and cardiac arrest! Thankfully my husband said I vomited a nasty black and orange stuff. That saved my life! | Mobic and heparin are a letal combination. It looks like I'm also allergic to Mobic. Whatever it is I will never try Mobic again! | F | 42 | 1 days 50 1X day | 10/28/2012 | 3 | shoulder sprain | Extreme fatigue, mood swings/easily irritable," zoning" out, dozing off | Just started taking this and it seems to help with the pain, but sometimes it doesn't seem strong enough. For me I felt the side effects soon after taking the drug and still have the same effects on day 2. I'm debating whether the side effects are worth tolerating as the family is certainly getting the brunt of me getting easily angered. Based on the control study group for this drug there were 5% that had some sort of mood swing; based on this blog, seems like the percentage is really higher.... | F | 45 | 2 days 7.5 1X day | 10/5/2012 | 5 | knee pain | minor stomach twinges at times but very negligent | Has helped a lot w/knee pain (cartilage degen. and arthritis)......in fact has made me much more mobile. Very happy with results of this drug. | F | 59 | 1 months 7.5 mg 2X day | 9/18/2012 | 5 | Osteoarthritis in my neck. | This medication has given me my life back. before taking this medication, I was experiencing severe neck pain and headaches, to the point of considering narcotics and antidepressants. My Dr suggested I give this a try, once a day in the a.m., and I had instant relief in one day. I have accidentally missed a dose a few times, and I could definitely tell the difference. I don't seem to have any noted side effects, other than a slight runny nose, but that might be caused by our smoke filled city (fires). I am not tired, or nauseated or constipated or anything, which is great! I can't wait to see how it is going to effect me this winter., as I have been dreading the cold weather. | F | 49 | 30 days 15 mg 1X day | 9/3/2012 | 1 | back pain | severe stomach pain even when taken with food, indigestion | i suggest never to take this if you've had any history with acid reflux or any other stomach issues especially if you take a SSRI/SRI... my doctor was insistent on me taking this for back pain... and it sent me on my merry way to the ER ( I was on Viibryd too, had reactions to that as well) | F | 30 | 1 days 15 mg 3X day | 8/30/2012 | 2 | Herniated disc. Surgery. Micro dise | Nausea. Mood swing. Chills. Bloated feeling. I can't tell it's doing anything. Last day I'm taking it. | M | 36 | 6 days 1 per day | 8/3/2012 | 4 | Psoriatic Arthritis | None | This drug has certainly helped me cope with my pain. I like the fact I only need to take it once a day. | F | 24 | 3 months 15 MG 1X day | 6/13/2012 | 1 | Arthritic knee | I noticed very little improvement in my knee. I became severely constipated, and my entire abdominal region became so distended I felt, and looked, like I was going to explode. My stomach could not expand enough to relieve the 'pressure'. This was both Extremely uncomfortable, and quite Ugly in appearance. My weight didn't change but my SIZE sure did. Imagine an otherwise 'in shape' 52 year old Man nine (9) months pregnant !!! I am now on day two (2) without it and I am already beginning to see some signs of relief of these very unpleasant side effects. Will not ever allow this drug to pass my lips again. | M | 52 | 2 weeks 15 | 5/29/2012 | 4 | psoriatic arthritis | stomach issues; gastritis, pre-ulcers; stomach pain, gnawing feeling; heartburn | I have been on and off this drug since I was 21. It has always provided me with great and almost immediate relief. That being said, when taken for a long, sustained period of time it has always caused me GI problems. Nothing ever serious enough to make me stop taking it; but just something to be aware of. Never EVER take this drug on an empty stomach and if possible take it at least 30 min. before lying down. But if you are careful, it provides great relief :) | F | 29 | 3 years 15 1X day | 4/20/2012 | 1 | Osteoarthritis | Sudden mood change | After 2 days of taking Mobic I noticed mood swings. I started to feel depressed, anxious and was having dizzy spells, I couldn't be bothered to do my job properly and have now stopped taking it. | M | 44 | 4 days 15 1X day | 4/17/2012 | 2 | knee pain & swelling | nosebleeds started after a couple of weeks, then after this month had a raging nosebleed out of both nostrils that took 15 minutes to stop. also noticicing heart palpitations. I am immediately stopping this drug | no better pain relief than motrin/ibuprofen | F | 53 | 1 months 75 mg 1X day | 3/8/2012 | 1 | Orthopedic Surgery | Uncontrolable sobbing first 24 hours. Out-of-character sadness until discontinued. | I had 7 surgeries (one just 2 months before) without any crying or mood changes afterwards. The ONLY thing different was the Mobic. Stopped after 5 days and all mood changes vanished. Doctor says it could not have been this drug but mine is not the first post to describe mood change. I had sugery-induced menopause 7 years ago so it was not PMS. | F | 45 | 5 days 7.5 mg 2X day | 2/17/2012 | 1 | tendonitis | Depression, extreme fatigue, weight gain. | The last two weeks I have become very moody, depressed, and irritable. I am usually very laid back and cheerful. Also, I have been feeling exhausted and run down. I had no idea why and it was really bothering me. I also gained a few pounds even though I have been eating a very healthy diet. Just today I realized that the only that has changed is that I've been taking this drug for two weeks. By the way, it hasn't helped with my pain at all. That makes my decision easy. I'm done with Mobic. I can't wait to see if I'm back to normal soon. | F | 42 | 14 days 7.5 1X day | 2/1/2012 | 1 | tendonitis | No benefits from this drug at all. Makes me extremely angry, and my pain is much worse than before. I will never take this drug again. Thanks to this drug, I had to sleep on the couch last night and now my neck is hurting too. | M | 36 | 7 days 7.5mg 1X day | 1/27/2012 | 1 | osteoarthritis | Episodes of rage and extreme irritability. Decreased platelets and severe bruising. | For me, Mobic did not seem to help my pain at all. Although I am normally a cheerful, happy person, I had increasing episodes of unexplainable anger and absolutely everything irrititated me. Even if this had helped my pain, I would not take it due to the extreme mood change it caused. I have been off of Mobic for three days and am seeing mood imrovement daily. | F | 58 | 7 days 15mg 1X day | 12/11/2011 | 3 | Severe TMJ, neck, shoulder and back | Little stomach discomfort, dizziness about 3 hours after taking it, little trembling in hands, anxious, though I'm a very anxious person. | Not sure if Mobic is working yet. My pain always comes and goes, i notice I'm swollen. I guess I have to wait to see any results. I've been dealing with tmj pain for a year now, also pain in neck, shoulders and back. | F | 34 | 3 days 7.5 1X day | 12/4/2011 | 2 | herniated disc in back | Diarrhea, nausea, flu like symptoms. I have a cardiac arrythmia - PVC's controlled with a beta blocker but when taking the Mobic I experienced more PVC's. Gave me a shaky, uneasy feeling. | I have persevered with Mobic cause my back pain is so terrible, but I cannot go on like this having diarrhea at night all night, I end up washed out in the morning and kind of "out of it" all the next day. Have to stop it now. I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow about having an injection for pain so hopefully that will work. | F | 72 | 10 days 7.5mg 1X day | 10/12/2011 | 4 | Shoulder Arthritis | Fluid retention -- swelling in ankles/feet/lower legs and wrists/hands. | This med helped my arthritis pain; however, I had to quit taking it due to fluid retention. I will see if my doctor can prescribe 7.5 mg per day instead of 15 mg to see if I still have fluid retention. | F | 52 | 3 months 15 mg 1X day | 10/3/2011 |
