| 3 | Flare up of TMJ and Fibromyalgia | Initially very sleepy, taking it at night now. First 3 days stomach ache which is now resolved. Feel like my heart is racing and flu-like symptoms. I also felt very swollen and gained a few pounds which I am hoping is just water retention. I will stick with it for another week when my doctor will re-evaluate it. The side effects are tolerable for now and I feel that it is worth taking for the results I am getting in such a short time. | I should also mention that I do take Lortab as well for my pain which works well and is well tolerated by me. | F | 44 | 7 days 15 mg 1X day | 8/4/2011 | 1 | Arthritis | Fainting, vertigo, muscle aches, increased heart rate, headaches, water retention which slowed blood flow to my brain. Water retention so bad it caused bulging disc in neck, now having headaches and leg cramps they hopefully physical therapy will resolve. | I felt like I was having an emotional break down. Every test echo, xrays, u/s, ct's all coming back negative, but my body was shutting down. I know they thought I was psychotic. | F | 37 | 10 months 15mg 1X AN | 6/24/2011 | 4 | tendonitis, osteoarthritis | I break the 7.5 mg pill in half and take half with breakfast, half with lunch. Never on an empty stomach. Still gives gnawy feeling in stomach. Have used in past with no ill effects, but am now noticing nausea, and inability to sleep at night if I take it any later than noon. | It's the best of the NSAIDS for me, so far. Am experiencing the chills and feeling of broken glass under my skin now, wondering if this may be related to "flu-like symptoms" that even the mfk. acknowledges are possible. I consider it a short term drug for acute pain. HOpe I never have to take it long term. Spirulina has been more helpful to me. | F | 55 | 2 months 7.5 mg 1X day | 5/8/2011 | 2 | lower back pain | None...till I ran out! | Felt NO RELIEF of pain while taking it. However, once I ran out, the pain was far worse it ever was before I started taking it. The doctor said, "Yup! That's how Mobic works." I've been on it for over 3 years now and am afraid to run out again. | M | 46 | 3 years 10 mg 1X day | 12/30/2010 | 1 | arthritis | After about 2 weeks I started feeling tightness in my chest. My blood pressure had risen from 100/50 to 140/70. I stopped and in 3 weeks blood pressure slowly returned to normal. I do not take blood pressure medication. | I worked well on the back and hip pain. I decided I will live with the pain rather than die from a heart attack from this medication. | M | 70 | 21 days 7.5 mg 1X day | 11/12/2010 | 4 | Mild Rhuematoid Arthritis | No side effects so far. | This medicine helped relieve some joint pain I'm having from mile R.A. It doesn't completely eliminate joint pain, but I've noticed a big difference. | F | 28 | 18 days 15 mg 1X day | 9/2/2010 | 5 | Arthritus | None | Couldn't believe how well it works!! | M | 32 | 3 months 7.5 2X day | 8/31/2010 | 1 | Scar tissue build up in shoulder | I am not on any other medication and told doc I did not want pain medicine. She insisted I have something so when the pain got bad enough I would have something to take the edge off. Assured me was not pain meds but acted as an anti-inflammatory. Did not take this for 2 days concurrent. First day I took it I went from sunny and cheerful, my normal disposition to angry for no reason. I was very alarming but I just shrugged it off. Second time I took it I experienced extreme anger and rage and every small thing got on my nerves. I have never taken again and have never experienced this again. I will take aleve from here on out. | This drug can make a normal human being into a psychotic lunatic..ask me how I know...Would not want to be around anyone on this drug. Do not advise anyone to take this. | F | 38 | 2 days 15mg 1X day | 8/11/2010 | 3 | hip pain | F | 57 | 3 years 15 1X day | 8/8/2010 | 4 | polyarthritis | causes stomach pain. Can only tolerate about twice a week. | Offers great relief for my joint pain, and works within an hour and usually lasts about 24 hours. I take it with food to help prevent stomach upset. Also regularly eat candied ginger, bananas, and yogurt to help soothe my stomach lining. | F | 47 | 2 months 7.5mg 1X day | 7/31/2010 | 1 | severe shoulder pain/cant move arm | Severe nausea; excessive salivation; dizziness; felt like I had the flu; unable to get off the couch; did not help with pain whatsoever | taking meloxicam, on day 3. I do not care for this medication. It is once a day, did not help with my pain and I was then unable to take anything else. | F | 39 | 1 days 15mg 1X day | 6/6/2010 | 1 | back pain | I really dont remember if this drug helped with my back pain or not to be honest. It literally made me mentally unstable. It started with just sore muscles. I didnt notice my symptoms because i wasnt in my right mind. My wife and parents noticed my behavior and confronted me about it and eventually we realized it was the drug. I literally didnt care about anything. I became completely void of emotion. I started calling into work and would go and sit in my car and sit for hours. Then i started falling asleep randomly. I would wake up places and not remember how i got there. Really scarey. Doctors called is somulance or something like that. | Made me act like a zombie and had sever mental effects on me. From what ive heard, what i experienced was rare. If you can take it without going crazy then i guess you'll be fine. | M | 27 | 30 days 15 mg 1X day | 6/1/2010 | 4 | osteoarthritis | none | must have something in my stomach to avoid acid reflux (I eat 2 or 3 plain crackers) but it has helped considerably with the pain in my knees, back, shoulder (DJD) and hips (both have been replaced), take the generic and am very happy. Had tried tramadol which did nothing. | F | 59 | 5 years 15 mg 1X day | 4/30/2010 | 1 | Anklosing spondilitis | Rapid changes in my mood and became depressed and cried for short periods during the day over nothing. | The medicine worked wonders for the pain but my mental health was unstable on this drug. | F | 31 | 5 days 7.5 1X day | 4/29/2010 | 3 | arthritis in spine | Heart palpitations,respiratory problems, bloating. | It aggravates my asthma to the point I was getting more sick by the day. I had to go off of it. It was helping my pain, but the side effects were to frightening to continue. | F | 61 | 6 weeks 7.5 mg 1X day | 3/13/2010 | 4 | severe osteoarthritis - spine | None | I didn't realize this med worked until I started taking it every day. Really makes a difference in pain level. I even had a few (knock on wood) good days when before every day was a painful nightmare with lots of tears. Mobic gives me hope and that helps me get through the day. I take norco less often because I don't need it everyday now. | F | 33 | 3 months 15 mg 1X day | 2/11/2010 | 4 | arthritis | none | F | 48 | 7 months | 1/11/2010 | 4 | rhuemetoid arthritis | none | have been taking it for about 2 weeks, and this is the first time in over 7 months my pain that i have had in my hands, arms, back and feet is amost non exsitent. i am still taking other meds for it, but since given mobic, have really started to feel better. | M | 48 | 2 weeks | 12/5/2009 | 3 | spinal cord swelling | Not sure also was taking Tramadol which caused major problems | F | 62 | 3 years | 11/18/2009 | 5 | Arthritis | NONE | I can not move a single joint on rainy days without this! I take 7.5 mg daily, unless it rains...then I take the full 15 mg. | F | 37 | 11 months | 6/12/2009 |
