 3  Inflammation nerve Anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, bloating, overall stomach issues. I felt very hyper on this medication could not calm down. The medication did help my upper back pain and nerve pain however the side effects out weigh the benefits. Fear of stroke or heart attack is also a worry. M 39 3 days

 2  Knee inflammation Given this mediciation for inflammation in my knee due to meniscus and osteoarthritis. 1st two days it seem okay but now on day 3 and it's horrible. I deal with SVT and this medicine side effect is awful. I just took a magnesium pill to calm my heart. The tingly feeling you get and uncomfortable feeling is not worth it. I got nervous on what I was feeling that it made it worst Will stop taking it today M 37 3 days

 1  Inflammation of the knee So the first day I took Mobic everything was fine but then the next day my stomach was hurting more than my knee! I had on going stomach cramps all night and diarrhea. I got no sleep and also had a bad headache. Also my knee didn’t feel all that much better. Overall the medicine was not worth it. F 14 2 weeks

 1  Doctor diagnosed inflammation Experiencing edema in both hand, fingers and wrists which is very painful. Also some ankle swelling. Small amount of skin peeling off on back of hands. Doctor diagnosed inflammation from cubital tunnel post op 2 months.There were no signs of such as far as I was concerned. I know my body better than a specialist. I did have excrutiating nerve pain (prescribed gabapentin) but I did not think there was inflammation. Nerves will take 6 to 12 months to heal so although extremely painful at times, I believe this was my only problem. Stopped as off today taking meloxicam and hoping the swelling goes down quickly. Do not need drug induced pain! F 62 5 days

 1  knee inflammation and pain sick to my stomach, headache, horrible dizziness, hot one minute/cold the next, weak, tightness in chest, blood pressure went sky-high. I was given this by my rheumatologist for knee pain and inflammation. I started feeling sick taking it day one. I took for three days and had to stop. It didn't work for me and made me so sick. I am not sure what I will try next. I'm scared to take anything now. F 53 3 days

 1  joint pain, inflammation, sciatica Burning stomach, increasing anger and depression. When I refilled a 2-year old mostly untaken prescription of Mobic I told the pharmacist it made me really crabby, and he said he took it too and it also made him crabby, but thought it was only him. I'm glad to see it's not just us, it's a real thing and I'm not going to take it any more. Each of the 5 days since my last dose my mood has improved thank heavens. After many years of being alone I found a wonderful partner, but this foul mood Mobic put me in made me difficult to be around. Unacceptable!!! F 62 5 days

 1  shoulder inflammation/arthritis Super emotional, constipated, anxiety, no relief from pain associated. Dr won't recommend a cortisone shot to bring inflammation down, said arthritis isn't cause of severe pain, put me on arthritis meds anyway. After a week of taking them, I just would cry all the time over nothing. Elevated my anxiety. And it never helped with any of the pain. Stopped taking it and mood is improving, pain is no different. I'm not impressed with this drug. They initially gave me toradol which worked wonders but is apparently very harsh on your system so you can't get more than 10 pills a month. Wish there was something more like this to help...or that they would just do the stupid cortisone shot. F 38 7 days

 1  inflammation The drug caused me rather severe anxiety, so much so that I could hardly speak to others without wanting to cry -- for no reason. I am naturally rather anxious, but nothing like this! 24 hours after quitting the drug I was fine. Oddly, it may have helped me focus on tasks, however. M 55 7 days

 2  Pain/inflammation. TINNITUS!!!! Terrible. Off of it for about a month, I think. Stopped taking it 3 days after the ringing started. Ringing is still here. Today it's the worst it's been. It worked wonders on what it was supposed to, but the ringing is about to drive me insane. No kidding =( M 43 7 weeks

 2  Inflammation have not noticed any side effects I had been taking Ibuprofen with success but my doctor thought it was too harsh on my stomach and gave me Mobic instead. Took several days to notice a difference in pain however break through pain occurs every single day and I end up taking 1000 mg of Tylenol twice a day to combat that. I had much more pain relief with taking 600 mg Ibuprofen twice a day. F 45 12 weeks

 1  Severe headache and neck stiffness This medicine was given to me while in a hospital for unrelated treatment. The nurse gave me Mobic and right after a shot of heparin, about 5 minutes later my heart was pounding, severe chest pain and uncontrolled shaking. My husband run for the nurse and next thing I remember was waking up with at least 10 people around me, pads on my chest. I was going into respiratory and cardiac arrest! Thankfully my husband said I vomited a nasty black and orange stuff. That saved my life! Mobic and heparin are a letal combination. It looks like I'm also allergic to Mobic. Whatever it is I will never try Mobic again! F 42 1 days

 2  Hip inflammation -- labral tear Mood changes, anxiety, sleep disruptions, and completely not feeling like myself the second time I took it -- I took it the first time for 2 weeks without problem, then stopped because my the pain from my inflammation subsided. I started it again and within 3-5 days started to feel the side effects. Side effects subsided within 2 days of stopping Mobic. I found out Mobic contains thiazine, which is an antidepressant, and apparently interacted with the low-dose of Zoloft that I take daily. This happened in 2% of the clinical trial sample of 16,000, but apparently my doctor didn't think that was significant enough to mention. After stopping Mobic and asking my doctor again, he said that I will have the same problems with all of the powerful anti-inflammatories and steriods that are used to combat inflammation. So if you're on any anti-depressants check if the anti-inflammatory you're being prescribed contains thiazine, a thiazine derivative, or any other anti-depressant. F 34 18 days
