 4  AS Sleepiness ( usually a couple of hours ) especially if you eat anything at all, a yogurt can knock you out for a while. No eat - no problem. Celebrex was prescribed to replace steroids, it worked reasonably well to start with but after about 10 years, seems to be failing to do much. Just been given short course of steroids for a chest infection, you wouldn't believe how many dead bits have returned after 1 dose of prednisolone M 67

 2  back pain I was fatigued and slightly disoriented without a marked sense of relief. F 47

 1  pain in back, ankles, & Knees Driving down the Expressway, suddenly felt like I was going to faint or die. Although I came out of it in @ 3 minutes, it felt like an hour & I was terrified. Will never take it again! Doctor doesn't think the side effect was from the Celebrex., I never felt that before & have never felt it again since I stopped taking Celebrex. Imagine if I had crashed into another car! F 75

 1  painkiller Celebrex is linked to serious adverse side effects including heart attacks, strokes and stevens johnson syndrome. M 29

 1  arthritis Nausea even with food which resulted in ulceration of my duodenum.The MD prescribing it said the benefits would outweigh the nausea...jerk. Had 1/3 of my stomach removed as a result of this medication and have filed a lawsuit. All of you complaining of heart palpitations and nausea need to stop the medication before its too late. There are other safer medications available. F 75

 2  2 herniated discs in lumbar I had a peppered rash all over my body, along with terrible itching. I wish I could have taken it long enough to have been able to determine if it helped my pain. The Nurse Practitioner who prescribed it strongly recommend that I not take a second dose F 47 1 times

 5  Rheumatoid Arthritis None THIS WAS MY MIRACLE DRUG FOR THE SEVERE CHRONIC PAIN I WAS EXPERIENCING IN MY KNEES, HIPS & LOWER BACK. HOWEVER AFTER THE VIOXX ISSUE MY DOCTOR WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO GET SAMPLES TO GIVE ME AND I WORK FOR THE STATE AND THEY PAY ANYTHING ON IT. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $150.00 PER 30 AND I COULD NOT AFFORD IT. SO I HAVE NOT BEEN TAKING THEM FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS AND BELIEVE ME I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN THAT I HAVE BEGAN TO WALK HUMPED OVER FROM THE PAIN IN MY HIPS, LOWER BACK AND KNEES. NO OTHER MEDS HAVE WORKED AND MY DOCTOR AND RHUEMOTOLOGIST HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. I AM 51 YRS OF AGE AND THE PAIN HAS AFFECTED MY ENTIRE LIFE. I HAD A E.R. DOCTOR TELL ME AFTER A MINOR CAR ACCIDENT I HAD THE BODY OF AN 81 YR OLD AFTER LOOKING AT MY X-RAYS AND HE TOLD ME I WOULD BE CRIPPLED FROM THIS ARTHRITIS WITHIN THE NEXT 3 YRS. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT I NEED A HIP REPLACEMENT BUT I JUST CAN'T ACCEPT THAT. I TRUST A MIRACLE WORKING AWESOME GOD AND I PRAY FOR DELIVERANCE FROM THIS DISEASE EVERY SINGLE DAY. F 51 0 days

 5  Joint pain For 6 mths I've suffered chronic pain in the morning woken from sleep in pain in my joints. It started in my knees, then elbows & wrists. But 2 mths ago it started in my hips & lower back, & as my sleep was interrupted DAILY, so was my life. As soon I get up the pain would go, but the other day it wouldn't. So I went to my Dr who gave me Celebrex. I was scared to take it reading bad reviews. So I rang my Dr & he said take it & let me know how you feel tomorrow. I took it last night & can't believe I waited THIS long to try it. For the 1st time in 6 mths I woke with NO pain & it made me drowsy, which was a bonus. Celebrex WORKED for me so I want to write a POSITIVE review for people out there who are scared off by bad reviews I read HERE. I'm pain free, so I hope it works for others as it has me. I am PAIN FREE!!! The only side effect I had was drowsiness, which was a good one, as I haven't had a good nights sleep in 6 months! F 36 1 days

 3  podiatr. recom. (plantar fasciitis) I told my husband that it was like someone took all the energy I had and felt wiped out. He said, "Wait--didn't you just start Celebrex today?" So we figured out that it was probably that. Will try again tomorrow but if I keep having fatigue I may go with something else instead. F 47 1 days
