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)

 2  Severe osteoarthritis, severe degen Very bad looking rash on neck and chest that itched like crazy and got worse when exposed to even the mildest level of warmth. It seemed to work rather well on the arthritis pain, but definately not worth looking diseased!!!I'll stick with my Aleve. F 32 10 days

 2  arthritis-post op surgery knee Severe bloating through stomach area. Heart burn. Itchy scalp. Edema came back in leg area. Numb tongue. Labored breathing. Had knee surgery for lateral release and torn minicus.Also have severe arthritus. It helped with the pain but not feeling to well from the edema coming back and the swollen stomach not to mention all the itching. I will probably go back to taking ibfrophin. At least I will feel normal again. F 44 5 days

 2  Elbow Tendonitis Extreme anxiety, feelings of self doubt, etc., major bloating, could not lose weight where other diets had worked fine, feel a little "dizzy", and almost like a mild acid trip. Unpleasant. Works great to take away pain, but not at the risk of my sanity. I'd rather have the pain, honestly. I'm already going through menopause and this risk is not worth the mental anguish or bloating. F 47 1 weeks

 2  myofascial pain in shoulder extreme anxiety, nausea, rapid heart A quick follow-up to my extreme anxiety problems I posted yesterday... I skipped my 4th dosage last night and today I feel great. No anxiety whatsoever. But it was REAL scary because the anxiety lasted for nearly 1 1/2 days after the 3rd dose. It took that long to get out of my system. I must be hyper-sensitive to this version of an NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) because I've used NSAID's before without much problem. The only problem similar to this I've had is when I was on prescription strength Naproxen for a month, followed by a couple weeks of ibuprofen (2-4 tables a day). That was about 2 months ago, and I after I stopped taking those drugs my heart settled down and the anxiety went away. But the anxiety at that time was nothing like what I experienced with Celebrex. Hopefully someone else who has the same reaction with Celebrex will read my comments here and it will help them. According to Celebrex's literature, anxiety is only found as a "rare" s M 46 3 days

 2  myofascial pain in shoulder extreme anxiety, nausea, rapid heart My mom has taken Celebrex safely for a long time, so I was glad when my orthopedic docter prescribed it for the pains in my back because I thought it was the safest thing to take (I normally avoid taking any pills if I can). It cut the pain in about 1/2 after the first 200 mg dose (I'm taking one 200 mg tablet a day), then after the 2nd dose the pain was all gone! But I noticed some moderate anxiety after the 2nd dose, and after the 3rd dose the anxiety was so bad I was up all night with the feelings of impending doom just like the other guy who posted here. It was TERRIBLE. And I have no history of anxiety disorders either. I don't think I can dare take another dose. It works great for me on the pain, but I'd rather have moderate pain than feelings like I don't want to live. M 46 3 days

 2  Rheumatoid arhtritis none didn't work as good as other NSAID. F 31 2 months

 2  Cervical Radiculitis Severe anxiety, headaches, weakness in legs, slight dizziness, indigestion. This drug is probably a God-send for most people, but I want to warn people who, like myself, suffer from anxiety disorders to be cautious. On the first and second days it just made me jittery and that was bearable. However, starting with day 3, I started feeling the most profound anxiety of my life and it was becoming progressively worse till day 7 when I finally stopped taking it. The feeling of impending doom was just unbearable. Second morning after the last dose, aches in my arm, shoulder and neck returned (so celebrex did help with that) but the anxiety subsided almost immediately. By the way, I treat anxiety with Lorazepam so it may just be a bad combination of drugs. M 40 7 days

 2  Broken leg&neck+fractures none Iliked it better than Vioxx, it did help a little but had to increase the dosage and it eventually stopped helping me at all. Also after the I seen the recent studies show that there are good possibilities that vioxx and celebrex can slow down bone union and strength(overall make it take longer to heal) it makes since to me becouse docs say my leg is healing slower than normal(i dont smoke) and they dont really know why my neck isnt healing.so im quitting celebrex. ,i also have taken vicoden and percocet which is the only thing that gets me out of pain. M 24 6 weeks
