CELEBREX  (CELECOXIB):  This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor, which relieves pain and swelling (inflammation). It is used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. The pain and swelling relief provided by this medication helps you perform more of your normal daily activities. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. This drug works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain and swelling.   FDA Approval Date: 2002-08-29 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 3  Rheumatoid Arthritis I am 10 days into taking Celebrex. Days 1-8 were great... No side effects and it helped with the severe pain, stiffness and swelling in my hands and wrists. I went from not being able to use my hands to gaining full use of them. However yesterday, day 9, I began to have horrendous stomach which has not stopped. I have been lying in bed, in the fetal position with a heating pad on my stomach. Even the morphine I take for my back (failed back syndrome) won't get this pain under control. I've decided to stop taking the Celebrex for few days to see if the stomach pain stops. If it does I'm going to try it one more time along with a PPI. If that doesn't work then I guess I'm back to not using my hands again. It totally stinks because Celebrex has been the only medication which has helped my RA pain, but I just can't take this stomach pain. It is like I have to choose the lesser of two evils... Excruciating RA pain or severe stomach pain. I wish there was something that worked as well as Celebrex without the side effects. F 36 10 days

 1  tenosynovitis of flexor tendon Felt very ill almost immediately upon taking first dose, chest felt strange, foggy head, very tired, stuffy nose within 30 min I had already decided I was not taking any more doses of this medication because I felt so bad after taking the first dose. Took first dose before bed, upon waking the next morning I could hardly move my injured hand (the one the medicine was supposed to be helping), all of my joints hurt. Worse part was when I sat down on the couch every bone in my spine popped in secession, moved again a couple minutes later and the same thing happened. I have never had a problem with my back before. I hear it's a good drug for some people but not for me. F 36 1 days

 1  Post surgery inflammation (wrist) Severe side effects were almost immediate. Felt weak. Had trouble breathing. Couldn't keep my balance. Tightness in my chest. First thought it was asthma having been recently diagnosed but found that was not the case. Was surprised to have had problems with this medication as I had taken it 3 years ago when I underwent knee replacement. Didn't appear to have any side effects at that time but was only on it for a couple of days. This time, the side effects were almost immediate. Stopped taking exactly a week ago. Still having shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat and fatigue with little/any exertion. Also effected my muscle coordination. Kept dropping things. Difficulty standing. Speech was also effected. F 62 7 days
200 mg 1X day

 3  Arthritis My left arm tingled a lot, it did help the pain. Aldo I developed a skin rash and started getting bad stomach pains to make me want to go to ER. Called dr and told him of my side effects he said that Celebrex was not the cause but to stop taking until my appointment with in in 3 days. I've read that this medicine can cause blood cloth and stoke. I don't want to take this med This medicine aggravated my gastritis and I specifically asked the dr if this will flare up my gastritis and he reassured me it won't. These drs prescribed meds they probably won't take themselves or give to family member. F 50 5 days

 4  arthritis pain I am pretty sure Celebrex causes an irregular heart beat. It also caused pretty significant drowsiness. Good pain relief, but not worth the cardiovascular side effect. Good pain relief but the heart palpitations are enough reason for me to seek an alternative med. Very unsettling. M 63 3 days
