| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR MOBIC | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 2 | RA | none | This is the only NSAID other than Sulindac that I have taken and not had horrible side effects. The only problem was it had nobenefit at all either. It was like taking nothing. | F | 36 | 30 days | 12/8/2007 | 4 | Ankylosing spondylitis | I can't tell since I have IBS, but I don't have all of the stomach problems that other NSAID's have caused; I don't have to take Prilosec or anything like that, but then I am taking Bentyl for the IBS. | Less problems than other NSAID's(I have taken just about everyone); it does relieve the pain, too! | M | 66 | 6 days | 11/11/2007 | 4 | Tendonitis, arthritis pain in knees | None | Although not as effective as ibuprofen, Mobic has been effective for me for tendonitis and arthritis in knees. I am no longer able to take ibuprofen or naproxen sodium because they cause me significant stomach/esophogeal pain. No stomach issues with Mobic. | M | 50 | 2 weeks | 10/23/2007 | 4 | knee pain | none | Works good for me. Celebrex didn't work at all. When I take this I can still dance and go up and down stairs like I'm 20 years younger. I went off it for a month and started limping on the stairs again and the pain came back. | F | 52 | 340 days | 9/23/2007 | 4 | arthritis | cramps,chest pain | M | 50 | 14 days | 9/18/2007 | 4 | shoulder tendonitis/neck pain | Made me drowsy the first few times I took it, but not since then. | I have taken this medication for 3 years (since they cracked down on Vioxx use). While it is not nearly as effective as quickly as Vioxx was, the 15 mg tablet will make mild to moderate pain go away most of the time, and decrease severe pain to a not so noticeable degree. If they could come out with a slightly more effective dose it would be great, but for now it does its job well most of the time. During times when the Mobic alone doesn't quite do the trick I add on a Thermacare heating pad and I'm golden. | F | 42 | 2 years | 8/22/2007 | 4 | osteoarthritis in hands | None. | One tablet taken in the morning with breakfast. Tried celebrex before, but it caused some gastro problems. No trouble with Mobic. Glad I can now get generic. | F | 57 | 2 years | 8/21/2007 | 3 | Sciatica | Trouble sleeping | Meloxicam has reduced the pain of my sciatica. I take it at night because I used to get very little sleep because of the pain. It has helped a lot with the pain, but unfortunately the Meloxicam itself makes me wakeful, but at least I get a little more sleep than I used to manage. | F | 46 | 6 weeks | 8/11/2007 | 2 | Hip inflammation -- labral tear | Mood changes, anxiety, sleep disruptions, and completely not feeling like myself the second time I took it -- I took it the first time for 2 weeks without problem, then stopped because my the pain from my inflammation subsided. I started it again and within 3-5 days started to feel the side effects. Side effects subsided within 2 days of stopping Mobic. | I found out Mobic contains thiazine, which is an antidepressant, and apparently interacted with the low-dose of Zoloft that I take daily. This happened in 2% of the clinical trial sample of 16,000, but apparently my doctor didn't think that was significant enough to mention. After stopping Mobic and asking my doctor again, he said that I will have the same problems with all of the powerful anti-inflammatories and steriods that are used to combat inflammation. So if you're on any anti-depressants check if the anti-inflammatory you're being prescribed contains thiazine, a thiazine derivative, or any other anti-depressant. | F | 34 | 18 days | 4/5/2007 | 4 | Arthritis | Stomach pain if I take for more than 3 days at a time. | Mobic is a good drug for arthritis, other than the cost. It usually helps within the 2nd day, but I cannot take for more than 3 days straight because it always hurts my stomach if I take it longer. It can be a life saver during a flareup. | F | 58 | 3 days | 2/26/2007 | 5 | Osteoarthritis / Fibromyalgia | I've not experienced any side effects from taking Mobic. | Just a few days after starting Mobic, I could tell an immediate improvement in my pain. I have been on Prevacid since being on Mobic; my doctor said taking the Prevacid along with the Mobic probably has helped me to not have any issues with stomach since Mobic causes stomach trouble in some people. | F | 46 | 2 years | 7/14/2006 | 1 | Mobic Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome | | 6/30/2006 | 4 | arthritis | None | expensive | F | 51 | 4 months | 6/14/2006 | 2 | MRSA | Terrible stomach pain developed about 20 minutes after eating. I couldn't even stand the thought of eating. The pain put me in tears. | Not sure what the Dr. who prescribed it was thinking. Mobic is not really for MRSA. I have been on several other antibiotics with no improvement and finally gave up on my Dr. and went to an ER at a major medical center. The staff looked at me like I was crazy when I said my family Dr. prescribed Mobic for my cellulitis. I had my records to prove he did. | F | 40 | 3 days | 5/11/2006 | 2 | back injury & tendonitis | chills, chills, flu-like achiness, head aches, agitation, nervousness, insomnia if taken any time besides early morning | A year ago, I took Mobic for 4 months with no side effects and it helped my back pain. Great! Then this year, took it for a week for tendonitis, it helps with the inflammation, but OH MY GOODNESS, I got so agitated I couldn't focus on my job, couldn't sleep, and then the flu-like stuff hit. I have never been chilled so much for so long, I lived holding the heating pad, and the body aches, UGH. I thought I had a virus, but went off the mobic, virus got well. Resumed taking Mobic, same symptoms came back. Stopped the drug, symptoms went away. Only after digging through the PDR did I find this flu-like side effect was documented in the clinical trials. Totally not worth it. I wanted to die. Mobic is metabolized by a liver enzyme I am deficient in, and with age, the levels of these enzymes drop, so that may be why I can no longer tolerate it. YUCK. | F | 49 | 16 weeks | 2/18/2006 | 4 | Neck pain | Upset stomch if taken without food; slight bloating | Pain greatly reduced. Can't live without it. | F | 37 | 3 months | 11/29/2005 | 4 | osteoarthritis | None that I've noticed | It seems to help, although I am not positive, because my pain comes and goes. | F | 43 | 3 months | 11/19/2005 | 3 | ankylosing spondylitis/tendinitis | i have not yet tried this drug...this cite forced me to rate it...but i wanted to look it up first... | F | 25 | | 11/1/2005 | 3 | Palindromic Rheumatism | None | I might have built up an immunity because after a while, it would only last for about 6 hours. Didn't help sacroiliac pain at it's worst either. | F | 32 | 1 years | 9/23/2005 | 3 | F | | 9/21/2005 |
