| 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 | 1 | shoulder pain | 1 felt like throat was swelling shut in first 3 hr had very very vivid nightmares some violent !! | M | 47 | 1 days 1X day | 9/16/2015 | 2 | Arthritis and migraines | Arthritis and inflammatory wise it worked. Migraines lessened. But my moods were black. It got to the point l wouldn't talk to people. I had awful morbid thoughts and got very depressed. I didnt want to leave the house etc. Finally it clicked that lt might be Meloxicam. I unfortunately have to stop. I tried cutting the dose but even then l noticed my mood changed not long after l took it. It has been a scary 2 months, thinking it was just menopausal symptoms. I am devastated that the only drug to keep my migraines at bay...sent me crazy. | F | 51 | 1 days 7.5 | 9/2/2015 | 1 | shoulder pain | Breast pain | F | 59 | 4 months 15 mg | 8/26/2015 | 4 | Chronic knee pain and swelling | I experienced heat exhaustion symptoms twice now when working outside on hot days. These symptoms included nausea, vomiting, and general fatigue so bad that I had to stop working. | F | 54 | 3 months 15 mg 1X day | 8/21/2015 | 2 | severe back pain | First I've had my eyelid swell a couple of times. Not sure if related or what. But noticed right away my stomach hurt sooooooooooo bad I began eating tums trying to help the pain. I've had loose stools since taking this (I never do!!!!). I have anxiety and this seems to make my breathing capabilities worse. Have to take extra klonopin to calm down. I thought I'd give it a try though since it's helped my mom after her hip replacement. I've not noticed any change in my pain. Took today for the last time. Also I've had a voracious appetite since starting it! I eat alot as it is (I've got a high metabolism & need to eat constantly or I feel sick). However I just can't seem to get FULL after starting this and have put on a little weight-which in my case isn't a bad thing but still!!! The constant hunger (my stomach constantly grumbles no matter how much I eat) is annoying! Not to mention again the extreme stomach pains!!!!! Thought maybe I was getting sick the way my stomach constantly hurts and too many tums made me go to the bathroom! :( | I'm glad I read other people's comments because I thought my stomach pains were due to something else. As far as recommending this I'm not 1 to ask. Only took 10 days! | F | 38 | 10 days 15 mg | 8/8/2015 | 2 | osteoarthritis | Seemed to help at first, but then not. Experienced depression, crying, anger and would wake up with severe back pain. Also had increased ringing in ears, ear ache. | F | 53 | 2 weeks 15 1X day | 8/2/2015 | 4 | ortharitis | Able to now move. Was in so much pain but feeling great. Problem with taking at night. Have great anxiety and heart feels like beet in fast. Can't sleep. Will try taking in morning. | F | 51 | 5 days 15 mg | 7/28/2015 | 1 | knee inflammation and pain | sick to my stomach, headache, horrible dizziness, hot one minute/cold the next, weak, tightness in chest, blood pressure went sky-high. | I was given this by my rheumatologist for knee pain and inflammation. I started feeling sick taking it day one. I took for three days and had to stop. It didn't work for me and made me so sick. I am not sure what I will try next. I'm scared to take anything now. | F | 53 | 3 days 15 mg 1X day | 7/28/2015 | 1 | Severe migraines | Horrific experience. I am generally a very happy and healthy person. I had a horrible migraine one day and took this medication because my doctor said it would stop. The pain stopped for a little then I got insanely sleepy after the sleepy spell I had the worst panic attack of my life. I could not breathe, could not stop crying and my pulse was racing. 2-3 hours after I took the medication this feeling lasted. I had severe chest pain, sever vertigo, sever dizziness, anxiety through the roof, horrific depression and the worst was it made me feel very jittery and confused. Worst experience of my life. | Would never tell/allow anyone to take this. Ever. | F | 21 | 1 days 7 MG | 7/24/2015 | 1 | bursitis, arthritis and back pain | The prescription said I could take it twice a day but most days took it only once a day. At first I took it every other day and then the pain got worse so I started taking it daily. It really helped the pain. When we went on vacation I started taking it twice daily as we were on our feet a lot and the pain had gotten worse. Again it took care of the pain. Coming home I noticed my feet were severely swollen, it took 3 days for the swelling to disappear. Well now in the last couple of days I have started experiencing shortness of breath when playing with our dog, insomnia, extreme tiredness and some depression. I looked up the side effects for Meloxicam and found this site. I had already stopped taking this med a couple of days ago to see if it might be causing these symptoms, well upon reading just a few reviews I will not take it anymore. Will let it get out of my system and then get a different prescription for my pain. | F | 61 | 4 months 7.5 | 7/20/2015 | 3 | Back pain | Immediately I found myself having to play down the depressive symptoms I felt. The medication worked sensationally at reducing my pain, so I had a vested interest to stick with, yet as each day passed, I felt a gloom overcome me. Then, one night as I lay in bed with my eyes closed, I suddenly found myself imagining hanging myself, and out of some sort of morbid curiosity, I let it play out in my head. When I reached the end I immediately burst out in tears (I'm not a crier), and no sooner had I caught my breath, than the whole thing started playing out in my head again, at which time I leaped off the bed, and did everything I could do to break the replay. I never took Mobic again, and I have never had that experience again. The thing that made the ideation most scary was the fact that I hung myself in a loving way, which made it even more disturbing, like I was being lovingly put out of my misery by myself. One of the most frightening experiences I have ever had. | I would suggest using this medication once in a while, single dose only. In my opinion, it is not safe for continual use. | F | 50 | 21 days 7.5MG 2X day | 7/2/2015 | 1 | Ankle pain | High blood pressure, chest pain, dizziness, dehydration, numbness in leg | I took this medicine for a week and kept feeling worse. I was out in the heat one day and thought I was having a heat stroke. My chest was tight, I was lightheaded, and my legs felt like rubber. When I got home my blood pressure was 150/104 and I've never had high blood pressure. Went off of mobic and two days later I was feeling normal again. The side effects were way worse than the pain. | M | 28 | 7 days | 6/29/2015 | 3 | Osteoarthritis | Stomach pains/jabs. Tightness in chest similar feeling to indigestion except more tight and crushing sensation. | Day one didn't seem to do much for the pain and felt a little nausea - dosage was one tablet in the morning of 7.5mg straight after food. Day two (same dosage) relieved a lot of the pain but stomach pains started within an hour. Felt the need to eat to try and relieve the pains. Despite the stomach pain I was so happy to have relief from the pain from being an extreme 10 to being down to a 6 or 7. Unfortunately by early evening the tightness in my chest started and it worried me and the stabbing pains in my stomach got a little tighter and more uncomfortable. These symptoms led me here and now I'm worried about taking any more due to the chest tightness. No use being out of pain and ending up with serious heart problems. Very worrying and not sure what the long term pain management options are instead. My pharmacist who filled the script said he didn't like this drug as it causes stomach ulcers and other nasties. Be wary of this drug! | F | 46 | 2 days 7.5 1X day | 6/5/2015 | 1 | Rheumatoid arthritis | After 7 days on this drug my entire abdomen broke out in tiny red dots. Along w it my entire body began trembling and there is a severe burning pain on my upper left side. After several trips to the er and a two day hospital stay, doctors can't tell me how to fix it. 5 months later the pain in my side is horrendous, the dots on my abdomen never went away and the all over body trembling still occurs randomly. Dangerous drug in my opinion! | F | 38 | 7 days 7.5 | 5/2/2015 | 3 | neck, arm and leg pain | Nausea, lighthead/dizzy...breast pain...headaches and trouble with balance | Worked great for the pain for 2 days. On day 3 the nausea, dizzy, weakness and headaches started. Stopped taking it. | F | 48 | 3 days 7.5 | 4/26/2015 | 2 | RA | It worked decent on my inflammation and pain until the 3rd day.I'm getting older and more achey so I take more ibuprofen than I should. My Md thought I was taking too much over the counter ibuprofen and that my new onset GERD was a result of that. I also have lupus but pretend like I don't because my body metabolizes meds poorly. I use essential oils and homeopathic remedies from health food store, and watch what I eat. From what I've researched the meds are worse than my flares (just get aches and hives) I go to dentist for a cavity=numb for 12 hours. But my doc talked me in to trying Mobic, I wish I hadn't. | Uncontrolled crying on 3rd day, awful!! Cannot stop crying!!! I have been crying at work for two days now! (thank God its at a hospital and my nurses understand, I showed them this web page-great discussion). I would rather live in pain and take OTC ibuprofen then be weepy all day. Sticking to my homeopathic remedies from now on. | F | 45 | 4 days 7.5 mg 1X day | 4/18/2015 | 1 | back pain | Within 10 hours,I was really itchy. Within 12 hours I thought I had vertigo with extreme dizziness. Within 15 hours I had sciatica and a burning in my shoulder blades. All of these symptoms were worse than the back pain I was prescribed this awful medicine for in the first place. | F | 48 | 1 days 15 mg | 4/13/2015 | 1 | Leg muscle pain | Increased depression, stress, irritability, mood swings, crabby, lost interest in everything, pretty much every negative mood you can think of I experienced it the whole time. Recently I've had nausea and don't have an appetite so I've lost 6lbs and 5% body fat. | Due to me almost losing my family last week I've been trying to figure out why I have been acting so terribly lately. I never once thought it could be the Meloxicam but I decided to google it's side effects today. Omg so many people have had the same experiences I've had while taking this drug. My Dr said it was just like taking Ibuprofen so I never suspected it could be causing these symptoms. I just thought I was a crazy terrible person! I'm so glad I came across these reviews so I can get off this crap and get my life back! | F | 27 | 10 weeks 15mg | 3/24/2015 | 1 | lower back pain | It relieved back pain but I had awful bloating, dizziness, dry mouth and extreme dehydration. I hated to stop taking it bit I could not sleep at all and even missed a day of work. I would not recommend this to anyone. | F | 55 | 7 days 7.5 1X day | 3/22/2015 |
