| 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 | Headaches | Dizziness, anxiety, panic attacks, hot flashes, brain fog. It felt like life wasn't real | Do your research folks. I've should have. I was prescribed indomethacin for severe headaches and it only made me feel like I was going insane. Everyones bodies react differently and if you get these side effect, stop taking it asap. Took about 3 days for the side effect to wear off. | M | 27 | 3 days 25 | 6/27/2017 | 1 | Inflmation | First night I went to bed I woke up sweating. Second night I woke up had horrible nightmare couldn't go back to sleep. Had anxiety and numbness in my feet and hands. And everything looked blurry. Will never take this poll again | F | 27 | 2 days 25mg | 5/1/2012 | 4 | Chronic Migraines | I use this medication to get rid of migraines once they've started. It works amazingly quick in ending the migraine BUT...I get incredibly dizzy, nauseous, and feel like I'm incredibly high and feel like I'm slowly fading away or falling down, which makes walking difficult. I do eat w/it, but the side effects are a constant either way. | It works great for migraines ...especially since I've tried several medications for this disorder. However, for first time users, I would recommend NOT taking this before needing to leave your house for work or school or something. The first time I took it I had to leave work and was hit so badly with disorientation I considered calling 911 at one point. | F | 26 | 3 months 75 1X AN | 3/22/2011 | 4 | Gout | Dehydration from frequent trips to the bathroom, Midgrade Headache, But better than the gout pain!!! | M | 26 | 3 days | 7/27/2006 | 1 | Subacute thyroiditis | Shortly after taking a 50mg pill I experience dizzyness, shortness of breath, a heavy heart, extreme nervousness. My anxiety level is high and I cant fall asleep at night. Extreame weakness and a headache | I dont know if there is any other options of medicines to take but I dont recomend this. | F | 26 | 4 days | 10/27/2008 | 1 | prevent Inflamation of elbow | Dosage 25mg tablet 3 times a day. Terrible experience, felt real spacey, then my heart started racing way too fast. Felt like I was going to pass out, vision blurred, and hard to concentrate on anything. Never taking them ever again. Took about an hour and a half to come back to normal. | M | 26 | 2 days | 11/21/2008 | 5 | torn ligament in knee | headaches (some almost to the point of migraine) & loss of appetite, also slight upset stomach if I did not take medication with food | this medication relieved any and all pain I experienced from my torn ligament within the first day of taking it, worked very well despite the side effects | F | 25 | 14 days | 10/24/2004 | 3 | gout | i get really tired and can't get any sleep i feel like im high and mood change | it works for a few hours but i can still feel a little pain when walk or when i stand up after sitting for awhile | M | 24 | 12 months | 6/1/2005 | 1 | Pericardial disorder | Anxiety, panic attack, mind foggy, "crawling" skin, racing heart, anger/irritability, repeated weird dreams, feeling of going "crazy", headache, pain in legs, feet, arms, and stomach, constipation, dark stool, drowsiness/fatigue. | Only took this for three days and was shocked to feel this way in such a short time. By the third day, my whole body ached, my skin was crawling, I was very irritable and anxious, which I believe, induced a slight panic attack. If it can help people without these crazy side effects, that's great, but definitely not for me. | M | 24 | 3 days 75mg | 5/19/2017 | 4 | ankylosing spondylitis | 75 mg once a day--usually get lightheaded and dizzy about 2 1/2 - 3 hours after taking it, drowsiness occurs as well | It has greatly reduced the pain in my sacroiliac joint (hip). I usually take it once a day at night so I don't experience side effects then. Only when I have a flare-up (every 6 weeks or so) do I take it in the morning as well. | F | 23 | 8 months | 10/7/2004 | 4 | Muscle spasms-low back & hip pain | Helped to reduce the pain in back and hip and controlled the muscle spasms. Been dealing with diarrhea & stomach pain in low abdominal region. Also having more headaches than usual, sleepiness, & a bit more moody. I take 75mg 2x's daily, highly recommend taking w/food just a suggested!! Have a 10 day supply and side effects showed up within 24 hrs. | F | 23 | 10 days | 11/15/2004 | 3 | scleritis | The first night i took it with a anti acid like the doctor said... I spent the next 12 hours on my couch with the worst abdominal cramping of my life. I cried for about 6 hours cause if the pain, but it did help for the scleritis. The pain isn't as sever. Probably won't take the medicine again due to bring a mother a i can't spend another night on the couch | F | 23 | 7 days 25 | 7/23/2013 | 1 | Back pain | Dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, horrible panic attacks, weird feeling of nervousness, tingling limbs, out of body sensation, irritability, headache | I have never had any side effects while taking a medicine. I thought something was wrong with me until I researched the side effects of Indomethacin and I found out that many people had reactions to it. Horrible experience. I really thought I was going to have a heart attack. The first day I only had some stomach ache, diarrhea and headache. The second day I kept having a headache but now I had this weird out of body sensation. My mood began to change and I couldn't pinpoint what was the cause. Today was my third day taking the medicine and I felt horrible. I had a panic attack almost immediately and couldn't walk properly. After 3 hours the side effects have subsided but I will not take another dosage. It is not worth it even though my back pain decreased. | F | 23 | 3 days 75 mg 1X day | 3/22/2021 | 2 | Torn Knee Meniscus | MUST eat a decent sized meal before taking indomethacin - it is a very uncomfortable experience. Severe light-headedness, spacey, dizziness, groggy beyond belief, feels like all you want to do is sleep but so uncomfortable you can't. If you don't eat prior to consuming indo the above side effects are much worsened | Despite the series of serious side effects I continued taking it because it eliminated the swelling in my knee and allowed me to walk without limping, and in general made moving easier. However, it can be dangerous as the side effects do not hit you until a couple hours later. I was driving and had to pull over and call my parents because of how uncomfortable/ light-headed I was, I was scared I couldn't safely make it home. As well, I was pretty much useless after taking it feels like you're underwater, GROGGY. I swear beside the word groggy in the dictionary should be the word indomethacin - all you can do is lay down and even that's really uncomfortable | F | 22 | 3 months 50MG 2X day | 3/4/2017 | 1 | tendonitis in wrist | I took 75 mg with a full meal and glass of water just like the doctor and pharmacist told me, but I still got a stomach ache that lasted all evening. My stomach ache eased up as I was getting ready for bed so I didn't think too much of it. Four hours later, I woke up with excruciating stomach pains like a bomb blew up in my stomach and I felt like I either had to vomit or pass a bowel movement,I couldn't tell which one. After an hour of sitting on the toilet and nothing happening I decided to lay back down and deal with the pain until it was time to wake up. When I woke up I immediately had explosive diarrhea. Besides all of the stomach problems I had with one indocin pill, it didn't even take away my wrist pain I get in the middle of the night. | F | 22 | 1 days 75 | 3/12/2013 | 4 | gout | loss of appetite, feeling dizzy, severe headaches,not feeling | I took 50mg, twice a day. | F | 21 | 10 days | 8/26/2005 | 2 | gout | I was extremely depressed and fatigued during the first couple days. After that I just felt like I was on a physical rollercoaster ride and an emotional wreck. | I do not suggest taking this drug if you are prone to headaches or have had depression in your past. The pain went away breifly, but came right back. | F | 21 | 5 days | 5/17/2005 | 2 | post concussion headaches | severe, pounding headaches(much worse than migraines | F | 21 | | 1/3/2010 | 1 | chronic soft tissue pain. | Severe stomach cramping, severe migraines. Dizziness. Loopiness. Exhaustion. Inability to complete tasks - and I am someone who has been on prescribed meds like percocet and morphine. Made me feel addicted and confused. Relieved the pain but left horrible symptoms. Never want to take this drug again. | Was using in conjunction with amitriptyline for long-term pain relief. It took away pain but left severe 'hangover' type symptoms. | F | 21 | 1 weeks | 8/13/2008 |
