| 1 | Hip Surgery | Head ache, Breathing issues, ringing in ears, extreme anxiety/panic, out of body experience, Hot flashes, Anger/ irritability | Everything was OK for the first few days then I awoke day 6 around 4 AM feeling anxious and having trouble breathing. I slept a few more hours on the couch sitting up. As that day progressed I started to feel extremely hot, early March with 4 feet of snow on the ground and I had windows open and my shirt off curled in a ball on the couch. It was a out of body experience like watching life as a movie but a scary movie. I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I could not cool off and I could not catch my breath. At one point I had issues understanding how to use my cell phone and lights were too bright. it was sensory over load. I had unbelievable claustrophobia and all sorts of unexplained fear. Today is day 4 off of the medication, each day is a little better with the help of some anxiety medication but I still have slight anxiety from time to time. I have had a panic attack before but it was nothing like this, I thought I was losing my mind. As others have mentioned if you feel any of this it is defiantly the meds not you! I will never take this again! | M | 37 | 6 days 50 MG 2X day | 3/14/2015 | 5 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | Chronic fatigue. Anxiety/panic attack if not taken with a full meal. | This is a powerful anti-inflammatory, but it works best for my severe spine arthritis. Originally my Rheumatologist prescribed 50 mg three times per day which was too much for my body. The first week on this drug, I had to call an ambulance because I thought I was having a heart attack or dying. It turned out to be a panic attack from this drug. We lowered the dosage to the minimum that still controls my inflammation/pain. I am so grateful for this drug, despite the side effects because I would be crippled without it. | F | 36 | 2 years 25mg 3X day | 6/28/2011 | 5 | Severe joint pain | The biggest side effect I have experienced is feeling light headed and somewhat dizzy 30-40 minutes after taking the pill. That seems to be decreasing in severity the longer I take it. No GI side effects have been noted yet so far and it is a life saver for me so far!!!! | I was prescribed this medicine after I found no relief to crippling joint pain over the last week. The cause of my condition is still unclear but this medicine has made it so I can function at work easily and have a relatively normal day again! The other store nonsteroidals did not touch this pain and I was taking dangerously high doses to try to get an effect that was never going to happen. This drug is a life saver for me right now!! | F | 36 | 3 days 50 3X day | 4/4/2013 | 5 | Ankylosing Spondylitis | Dizzyness, excessive lethargy (Does not last long). | I have Ankylosing Spondylitis in my ankle and also some arthritis in my lower back. I have been unable to sleep a full night for the last 6 months due to my back, but only a few hours after taking my first dose I had the best nights sleep in months. It is an amazing drug. | M | 36 | 3 weeks | 1/28/2006 | 4 | pericarditis | fluid retention, extreme agitation, | I wonder if anyone has experienced hair loss in the first few months after they stop taking the drug. | F | 36 | 3 weeks | 9/9/2004 | 4 | ankylosing spondilitis | No side effects. | 75mg daily (dinner), still some occasional stiffness. Doctor also prescribed a 25mg (lunch) but I rarely take it unless I'm having a flare up of inflammation. | M | 36 | 9 years | 11/27/2008 | 5 | Paroxysmal Hemicrania | Dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue and slight nausea. However, absolutely worth it as it has stopped the almost daily excruciating headaches I usually suffer. Am now pain-free. Drug has changed by life and with relatively mild side-effects. | CH patients should ensure you are given the Indomethacin test as PH can be easily confused with CH and misdiagnosed, as in my case. Indomethacin will sort it out almost immediately if you have PH. | F | 35 | 14 days | 1/31/2008 | 5 | Hermicrania Continua | Nausea if I didn't eat . Always must eat with it. Lil bloating and needing toilet a bit more. Memory loss a little. | This drug worked great for me and I thought I'd be on it forever. I'm very excited to say that 6 days ok I got some type of muscle relaxant injected at the nake of my neck and have not had to use this anymore. It's a miracle and I recommend to hermicrania suffers to ask your dr about injection . I feel amazing!! | F | 35 | 1 years 25 mg 3x | 2/11/2015 | 4 | degenerating fibroid in pregnancy | drugs are amazing... i only wonder what effect this will have on the baby!!! | F | 35 | 5 days | 11/29/2008 | 4 | Ankle Pain/Gout | Dizziness, Euphoric feeling (not in a good way either). Hesitant to drive while taking. | Works well, just wish there was an effective equal without said side effects. | M | 35 | 3 days | 12/16/2008 | 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 | 2 | Pericarditis | Relieved chest pain quite well but on forth day I came down with a debilitating migraine approx 45 minutes after my morning dose- I was sick to my stomach and dizzy. Stopped taking drug and switched back to ibuprofen which doesn't relieve the pain as well but doesn't cause me headaches. | F | 35 | 3 days 50mg 3X day | 2/24/2015 | 1 | Pain | Severe fluid retention in my abdomen. Rapid weight gain in one day. Struggled to urinate. Short breadth. | F | 35 | 1 days 25mg | 11/23/2015 | 4 | Psoratic or reactive arthritis | Rhumatologist prescribed me with Indomethacin 75mg SR 2 times a day. After around 3 to 4 hours of taking it, it first makes me dizzy and slightly disoriented. I'm an air traffic controller...so I restrict my duties when this happens. I can tell when things are just not quite | I ALWAYS take these with either a FULL meal or with a 12-16oz glass of milk. After the milk or meal...I always take in at least 16oz of water to help the liver and kidneys. Had my first kidney stone pass after 3 weeks of taking this stuff. No idea why yet. | M | 34 | 35 days | 12/26/2004 | 3 | Chronic Knee Pain | Headaches | F | 34 | 3 days | 5/16/2002 | 1 | Gout | . 3 of the 4 time I experienced severe dizziness, heart racing and disorientation that felt like I was going to pass out. The last time I took this it was horrible. I was driving and had to pull over and almost called 911. called my wife to come get me instead. I took it with a food for breakfast. my only advice is if your going to take it it must be with a BIG meal. I will never take this again! thought I was going to die! | M | 34 | 4 days 1X AN | 4/29/2013 | 1 | Suspected rheumatoid arthritis | Stomach cramps, nausea, unbalanced, diarrhoea. | First day had slight stomach cramps. Second day had nightly dose straight after big dinner. An hour later worse side effects started. Only prescribed for 5 days while waiting for blood test and X-ray results. Has not eased pain and inflammation at all, so doubtful will keep taking. | F | 34 | 2 days 50mg 2x D 1X day | 6/8/2013 | 1 | r arthritus | i took my first tablet 50mg at 9.30am by 11.00am i was on the floor of my bathroom vomiting dizziness lightheaded disorintated its now 8pm and i have numness and tingling down one side of my face will never take them again it was the most frighting experience thankgod my husband was passing and popped in as i had a 16mth old baby in the house | would not recommend to anyone | F | 34 | 1 days | 2/2/2010 | 5 | Gout | No side effects whatsoever. Even took it on an empty stomach. | I finally figured out I have Gout, the P.A. prescribed Indomethacin. This basically cured my gout in my foot in like 3 days. I feel like this medicine is a godsend! In the past w/o any pain meds I would be bedridden due to foot pain for like 2 weeks before I could walk again. With Indomethacin, as soon as the meds take effect, the pain becomes less noticeable and I could walk again in a matter of a couple hours. | M | 33 | 5 days 50 MG 3X day | 6/22/2016 | 4 | pericarditis | It worked well to alleviate my chest Pain. However I took it once on an empty stomach and a couple hours later I felt like I was going to faint. It did make my heart race slightly especially after exertion. | F | 33 | 10 days 50 | 7/26/2014 |
