| 3 | Headaches | Dizzy, unfocused, fatigue, disoriented, dry-mouth, nausea, chest-tightness, feel like I might pass out | When I started taking Indocin I would take it at night with antacid and didn't notice any issues. But then when I take it during the day (usually around lunchtime) I've experienced these side-effects that come on quickly and are nearly disabling for about 1-2 hours. I don't feel comfortable taking it anymore because of these side effects. | F | 53 | 6 months 75 mg 1X day | 9/30/2014 | 3 | hip and knee pain | Pain was gone!!
