| 5 | Gout | No side effects after taking it for last 7 years | I would often take 25-50 mg at night time to alleviate the leg and ankle pain from the gout. I noticed very quickly that my general aches and pains and the bursitus in my elbow was gone. since then, 7 years ago, I have taken typically 25mg each night and have been free of pain ever since. To date I have no noticeable adverse side effects. | M | 65 | 7 years | 11/16/2007 | 3 | CUFF TEAR AND INFLAMATION IN SHOULD | I get horrible headaches and after 2 dyas of taking the drug again(75mg 1/day) I am so dizzy and lightheaded that I feel like I am back on vicodin! I don't get stomach upset, but the headaches are horrible. I stopped taking the drug after 2 weeks and my shoulder pain returned with a furror. After being off the drug for 6 days I am now back on it - and I am going to push to have surgery rather than endure this anymore. I did take voltaren for a long while - and the voltaren provided some relief - it wasn't enough. | I would suggest being very careful with this drug. My dizzyness didn't present until a week or so after I began taking it. I was in my car driving when it hit me. very scary. | F | 40 | 3 weeks | 10/14/2007 | 1 | Arthritis | Initial side effects.light headedness | l took this drug constant for about 12 years, and discovered that l had suffered at least 5-6 of the major side effects. l put this drug to blame for the serious illnesses l have suffered. | M | 12 times | 9/14/2007 | 2 | Nighttime knee pain | drowsiness, tiredness, neck and shoulder pain | This is only my first day on it, but I think I'd rather deal with the nighttime knee pain than feel like this during all my waking hours. Too bad, I was looking forward to some relief. I will try it again another day to see if I react differently, but I won't get my hopes up too high. :)It was prescribed to me for 21 days. | F | 27 | 1 days | 9/7/2007 | 4 | Gout | Sometimes dizziness, mild stomach pain, light headed. | If you can feel an attack coming on and start the meds quickly enough,I find that the pain doesnt linger on as long. Also prevention Is the cure. If I eat shellfish gout is only hours away!!! I do get alot of relief from this pill bc the pain is severe.I only take it for an attack. | M | 35 | 5 years | 9/4/2007 | 3 | Low back and hip pain, fibroid pain | Dizziness, severe fatigue, nausea. I feel like I can't get out of bed, and when I do I want to lie right back down. Difficulty focusing and concentrating, blurred vision. Absolutely MUST eat with this medication or nausea is unbearable. | Mild to moderate relief from severe chronic pain. | F | 40 | 4 days | 9/2/2007 | 2 | Gout | Right eyelid swelled. | Took my first and last pill today. While it relieved the pain in the joint below the toe in my left foot, the heavy droopy right eyelid reaction, isn't worth it. | F | 56 | 1 days | 9/2/2007 | 3 | Gout | Severe stomach upset, cramping. Dizziness. Tired. Lethargy. | Did it's job of reducing the pain and swelling in my foot, but...... The stomach upset and inability to stay awake at work was horrible. | F | 27 | 3 days | 8/22/2007 | 5 | Gout/arthritis in feet and ankles. | none | More or less a miracle drug for me. It was extremely difficult getting started in the morning with the pain in my feet and ankles. Also the nagging pain made it difficult to get through the day. I take one 50mg capsule in the morning with breakfast and I feel like a kid again. It's amazing how your disposition changes when you go through the day with absolutely no pain!!!!! | M | 43 | 30 days | 8/18/2007 | 4 | gout | no noticeable side effects | F | 57 | 4 days | 8/9/2007 | 5 | Arthritis in feet, knees and back | There is a little light headedness when I started taking it and I sleep better for a while. | I have been taking for the brand name and then later the generic brand of this drug since 1974(37 years) How well it works for me depends on the weather and other factors, however it works better then any other arthritis drug I have ever taken. I take it at night with Prevacid. Sometimes I take a little Milanta as well. I stay away from all forms of sugar and soft drinks after 9:00pm and I usually hit the sack by 11:00pm | M | 58 | 37 years | 8/6/2007 | 5 | For the occassional gout attack, | Light headedness, DON'T DRIVE,I forgot I had conversations at work for the first day or 2, I didn't notice any additional problems with alcohol, but still don't drive. Otherwise no problems | I took this drug when I was first diagnosed with gout and had an attack of gout when I couldn't walk. Two or four pills at 75 mg took care of each attack. This drug is not for the control of gout. It should only be used for an attack (unless your Dr says otherwise). I've been taking Allopurinol (300 mg)for 4 years and my uric acid level has dropped from about 10 to the lower part of the normal range, which is 2 to about 8. I don't get gout attacks anymore because of the low uric acid. | M | 60 | 4 years | 7/24/2007 | 1 | gout | very light headed,dizziness,very tired,trouble staying alert-awake,really distracts me from work which taking three times a day is a huge problem. | I have still had outbreaks of gout even while taking | M | 27 | 8 weeks | 7/24/2007 | 1 | gouty arthritis | after four days, constant diarrhea for 24 hours, very frequent urination, headache, swollen glands in both front and under and back of neck | Is it possible that there is wheat used as an ingredient in Indomethacin? I have celiac disease and experienced diarrhea the first day and then on for the other four days. Have discontinued drug today. I have taken a few pills at another time and had same reaction | F | 77 | 5 days | 7/16/2007 | 2 | pain in arm - suspected tendenintis | none | very little to no relief | M | 60 | 7 days | 7/9/2007 | 4 | Coital Cephalgia | Dizziness, Confusion, Nausea | This medication worked fairly well, but I had to be sure to eat enough food with it to prevent the nausea. Sometimes there are no side effects, other times, the dizziness is quite severe and almost not worth it. It does do a great job of relieving the migraines. | M | 29 | 5 days | 6/26/2007 | 1 | to reduce swelling from arm injury | dizziness, loss of balance, migraine | I lost 2 days of work due to serious side effects after taking 1 50 mg capsule! Pharmacy would not refund $ and so I also lost $50 out of pocket. That is a total loss of $250, and is certainly not worth taking this medicine at all! Give me the swelling any day! I am disgusted. | F | 49 | 1 times | 6/24/2007 | 2 | Sciatica Pain | Some upset stomach, general dizziness and fatigue, extreme front left side headache,general Mood Swings (Crying) and swollen tongue with canker sores. | 75 mg 1 capsule twice daily, It only took a couple of hours, but the swelling and pain were gone (butt area and lower left leg). Had to stop taking this medication becouse I couldn't eat (swollen tongue with canker sores. | M | 38 | 7 days | 6/21/2007 | 1 | Strained plantar faschia | First couple days on medication were fine. However, on day four I began to experience acute, vertiginous dizzy spells and a NASTY headache. On day 4 I became so drowsy I slept 15 hours, which is extrememly abnormal from my 7 hours a night average. On day six, after the morning dose, I decided to remove myself from the drug to use ibuprofen instead. I think that in my case I should not have had this drug prescribed for me, considering it's adverse potency. | TOUGH STUFF.
