| 1 | 2 herniated disks and sciatica. | After a failed microdisectomy on L4. Pain is unbearable. Walking with cane.. Dr said I was taking to much motrin and put me on Mobic. By the 5th day I really tgt I was dying. Constant crying, suicidal, chest pains, heart beat out of control, no sleep for 3 days straight. Ringing in my ears, dizziness and felt nauseous and on top of that blood in my urine. I have never been so scared in my life. Never again will I take it. Sad part is the dr never warned mebofbany of these side effects other than nausea. Thankfully i found this sight. Laying in bed now praying it all goes away soon. | F | 37 | 1 weeks 15mg | 6/18/2014 | 1 | shoulder pain of unknown cause | Panic attacks, nervousness, anxiety. Dizziness. Never again! | F | 54 | 7 days 7.5 1X day | 4/30/2014 | 2 | radiating leg pain/?lumbar disc | Terrible"melt downs" for no reason Did not hold off pain more than 12-14 hours. Cut in half-took 2x daily-still waking in middle of night in severe pain-thenit takes longer to take effect in a.m. | F | 67 | 5 days 15mg 1x/da | 3/30/2014 | 2 | Pain/inflammation. | TINNITUS!!!! Terrible. Off of it for about a month, I think. Stopped taking it 3 days after the ringing started. Ringing is still here. Today it's the worst it's been. | It worked wonders on what it was supposed to, but the ringing is about to drive me insane. No kidding =( | M | 43 | 7 weeks 1X day | 2/24/2014 | 1 | Fibromyalgia, EDS Type 3 | I have been on this medication twice now. First time was two years ago and i stopped it after almost a year of taking it because I felt like I had lost control of myself. Last week (after a year of being off, switching to a new doctor, and pretty much forgetting everything that happened the last time) I was put back on it. Within 2 days I was having terrible moods swings again, hot flashes, and I've been on the verge of panic attacks 3 times. I'm constantly irritated now and I have treated my family like dogs since the mood swings started. I'm irritable and jumpy and panicked. I have become severely depressed and have been suicidal for the last 5 days for no reason. I have the worst mood swings ever now. I will never take this again. I'm so miserable. I feel like an animal... | F | 19 | 7 days 15mg | 2/10/2014 | 2 | rheumatoid arthritis | Made me depressed. Had a lot of crying spells which is not like me at all. Helped with the pain though but couldn't continue because of mood change. | F | 47 | 3 weeks 7.5mg | 2/9/2014 | 1 | Knee pain | Prescribed to take as needed for pain. First 2 times kept waking up from sleep, wide wake at 3am. Feelings of slight panic and urgency. Thought maybe stress related. Took again last night, complete panic, crying spells, hallucinating . Will never take again , I'll stick with ibuphrophen thanks! | F | 39 | 3 days | 1/30/2014 | 1 | Bursitis in my shoulder | This medicine did help with my shoulder pain, but on the second day taking it I started to experience occasional flashes of belly pain. On day three I discontinued use but still spent the day nauseous and with intestional cramping. On day four I started experiencing severe depression and suicidal thoughts for no apparent reason. Hopefully since I took it for such a short time I will be feeling like myself again soon. | I will never take this again, and I will do more research before I try ANY new medication my doctor prescribes. I don't understand why mood changes weren't mentioned as a side effect on the papers that came with my prescription. If I hadn't thought to look online I still wouldn't understand the drastic mood change I experienced. | F | 56 | 2 days 15 mg 1X day | 1/19/2014 | 5 | Symptoms associated with hashimotos | Slight stuffy/runny nose. | This drug changed my life! I've been suffering with inflammation pain in my entire body, including IBS, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and lower back pain for nearly 10 years. I thought chronic pain was going to be my lot for the rest of my life. The first day into taking Mobic, I felt so much relief, I could get up and do things I used to do: walk my dog, cook without needing to sit on a bar stool, and rake leaves! I thought I was doomed to feeling 80, but I feel about 40 again--and I'm 62. And it's on the $4 list as well. Win/win! Mobic gave me back my life after four years of feeling like a semi-invalid. | F | 62 | 2 weeks 15 1X day | 1/15/2014 | 4 | pain post spinal fusion | Really helped with the pain, unfortunately I started having palpitations constantly, which still have not gone away 1 week after stopping it. Seeing my GP next week about it. It's frustrating, because it's the best non narcotic med I've tried, and I had to stop it. Back to Ibuprofen, which doesn't work nearly as well. | F | 60 | 10 days | 1/15/2014 | 1 | Chronic bursitis | A few hours after I took the medication my heart started racing and I felt extremely light headed and dizzy. The next day i had this strange uncomfortable ache in my neck and left chest, feeling of a swollen throat and dizziness. The ache is still bothering me and bothers me the most when I breathe in deeply. I'm not allergic to any medication and have only ever not been able to tolerate one other drug. I'm not taking another dose unless my dr says this is normal and will subside. | F | 24 | 1 days 15mg | 1/9/2014 | 1 | C3-c4 herniation, OA, fibromyalgia | Terrible NSAID! I took it 6 yrs ago and my ikids always called it my mean pill. I don't recall how long I took it, but a different dr prescribed it to me two weeks ago. Mobic turns me into a crying, angry, irritable, feeling crazy person. I normally am a fun, outgoing person. I have had muscle spasms and charley horses in my feet and legs, ringing in my ears, dry mouth, headaches, and wake up at 3 am after having awful nightmares. Do not take this if you can avoid it. I don't understand how an NSAID can cause mental changes but it did for me. : ( | F | 46 | 2 weeks 5 | 11/3/2013 | 5 | Osteoarthritis | If I take Mobic every day, I end up with Hyponatremia . | Mobic has been great for me, I take it twice a week, and I have little or no pain. | F | 60 | 5 years 15 2X W | 10/6/2013 | 5 | for knee pain | No side effects. | I usually only take this twice a week, but if I'm walking a lot I take it daily. Meloxicam (mobic) enabled me to be able to take a 2 week trip to Italy with no knee pain. I also noticed that my back didn't hurt either. I have a lot of arthritis and I don't think I could've done this active trip to Italy without meloxicam. At home when I walk half an hour a day I only take meloxicam twice a week because the literature says it can increase a person's risk for heart attack or stroke. | F | 54 | 6 months 15 MG 1X day | 10/5/2013 | 1 | shoulder sprain x5 weeks | Severe nausea, woke me from deep sleep about 3 hours after taking first pill. This was combined with excruciating back/torso pain (felt like both kidneys were on fire). Threw up once; felt better, and back pain was gone in the morning, but didn't really get over the nausea for about 48 hours. | I was really excited about taking this because my shoulder was really painful, and I didn't want to take anything that would make me sleepy/loopy. I can't be 100% sure that Mobic caused the side effects, but I ate nothing weird, had no fever or any other symptoms but the above. I'm afraid to take Mobic again to experiment. :) | F | 44 | 1 days 30 1X day | 9/30/2013 | 2 | Inflammation | have not noticed any side effects | I had been taking Ibuprofen with success but my doctor thought it was too harsh on my stomach and gave me Mobic instead. Took several days to notice a difference in pain however break through pain occurs every single day and I end up taking 1000 mg of Tylenol twice a day to combat that. I had much more pain relief with taking 600 mg Ibuprofen twice a day. | F | 45 | 12 weeks 15 mg 1X day | 9/15/2013 | 2 | Fibromyalgia | Anxiety, nervousness, feeling that I was in an emotional crisis with no rational explanation. Unable to work or focus on simple tasks. | F | 48 | 7 days 15 mg | 9/13/2013 | 1 | Tendonitis | Major depression with crying spells and a feeling of hopelessness and wanting to stay home. | F | 39 | 6 days | 8/6/2013 | 1 | Osteoarthritis cervical and lumbar | Caused crankiness, anger over trifles and depression. Made me feel like life is crap. Took the joy out of everything! | I'm normally a cheerful person, not moody at all. I took this at 7.5 mg to get any pain relief from pinched nerves in neck and lumbar regions. (C3-C5 and L4-S1) When I take half a dose I get no relief from pain; only the full 7.5 mg seems to mitigate nerve damage and make muscle spasms cease. HOWEVER: This drug causes me to become depressed, anxious, and zoned-out. I feel like I'm cut off and in my own crabby little cell. It took me a while to realize Mobic did this to me. It's not worth it. Also get the same evil side effects from: Ibuprofen and Diclofenac, Someone should explain why this happens. How can an nsaid affect one's moods? My doctor is incredulous but these side effects are real. | F | 59 | 5 days 7.5 mg 1X day | 8/3/2013 | 3 | Shoulder and neck pain | Taking two a day made me very moody and depressed Taking one a days it is much better and the pain has subsided | F | 48 | 60 days 7.5 MG 2X day | 3/6/2013 |
