| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CELEBREX | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | TMJ | Blurred vision, bloated abdomen,weight gain, acne | didn't do alot for my jaw pain, no more effective then motrin | F | 44 | 9 days | 8/29/2007 | 5 | Lupus | Indigestion. | I can definitely tell when I don't take it! I can't even make a fist with it, so it's definitely worth it to me even with all the scary warnings. | F | 37 | 2 years | 8/23/2007 | 1 | joint pain | Dizzyness, funny taste/feeling on tongue, severe nausea | Have only taken ONE tablet and within an hour became quite ill. Celebrex works well for severe pain, but not worth the side effects. Will not take anymore, and will search for an alternative. | F | 44 | 1 days | 8/21/2007 | 3 | joint pain | Serious flatulence, chest pain | It knocked out the pain, but since I've had a heart attack (and I was only 38, just 130 pounds, generally healthy) I decided to stop due to the chest pains. | F | 42 | 3 days | 8/17/2007 | 4 | Osteoarthritis in left knee | None yet, I do kind of feel a little out of it about 30 minutes of taking it, but other than that this stuff is great. | My arthitis is so bad in my knee that I was having some problems trying to get through summer camp for football, but I got on Celebrex and I'm at least able to make it through practice without extreme pain. | M | 22 | 7 days | 8/16/2007 | 4 | mild osteo-arthritis in neck | marked insomnia, sluggishness, nausea..we'll see what happens down the road. | took away the tremendous pain, which is a plus | F | 22 | 2 days | 8/15/2007 | 3 | post surgery complications | Doctor did not tell me to take in the morning. Took in the evening, BIG mistake. I was awake all night. very restless, anxious and had horrible visions when I closed my eyes. | I generally tolerate medications well and this is one drug that I am struggling with. | F | 42 | 2 weeks | 8/13/2007 | 3 | post operative fusion surgery L5 | My doctor did not tell me to avoid taking this medication at night. I was up all night and had very anxious thoughts/feelings. I am use to taking up to 45mg of Percocet per day without issue, Celebrex irritates my stomach and makes me very jittery. | Would not take again after this one time | F | 42 | 4 days | 8/12/2007 | 3 | pain after quitting smoking | Anxiety. | Quit smoking, had terrible pain & insomnia. Dr. put me on Celebrex for pain & Xanax for sleep. I don't know which one to blame for the anxiety - I stopped taking the Xanax, so we'll see. | F | 47 | 10 days | 8/11/2007 | 4 | arthritis | double, blury vision ,extreme tremors couldnt stay awake sounded like I was drunk when i was talking had to call 911 | I had been taking celebrex but had not taken it for 3-4 weeks due to money. When I took it again I had the side effects. explained on the left. When I first started taking it a I had kind of the same reaction where I became extremely tired and blurred vision but not as bad figured it was a normal side effect it did go away and had no more problems the medicine was great but bad side effects possible mini stroke | F | 40 | 2 months | 7/23/2007 | 4 | osteoarthritis/fibromyalgia | None that i can tell. | Took Vioxx Before and got rash. i00 mg. of Celebrex works for me w/no rash. Doesn't take away all pain, but is manageable. | F | 62 | 2 years | 7/17/2007 | 1 | knee surgery recovery | no side effects whatsoever, till I ended up in the emergency room in extreme pain and hyperventilating because of liver problems. | Celebrex works too well, which is why it is so dangerous. It is one of the most effective things you can take for arthritis-type issues, and for controlling inflammation/pain after knee surgery. But the side effects are very extreme: intestinal bleeding/perforation, heart problems, and liver toxicity. I am allergic to Ibuprofen and Alleve, so Clebrex was a life saver. But I am not willing to sacrifice my liver for it. The ER staff told me that they see very serious side effects in Celebrex patients. | F | 39 | 11 months | 7/5/2007 | 1 | arthritis | Nausea even with food which resulted in ulceration of my duodenum.The MD prescribing it said the benefits would outweigh the nausea...jerk. Had 1/3 of my stomach removed as a result of this medication and have filed a lawsuit. | All of you complaining of heart palpitations and nausea need to stop the medication before its too late. There are other safer medications available. | F | 75 | | 7/4/2007 | 2 | Severe osteoarthritis, severe degen | Very bad looking rash on neck and chest that itched like crazy and got worse when exposed to even the mildest level of warmth. | It seemed to work rather well on the arthritis pain, but definately not worth looking diseased!!!I'll stick with my Aleve. | F | 32 | 10 days | 6/25/2007 | 2 | tennis elbow | Extreme tiredness, very anxious, heart palpatations and not alot of relief of the pain when compared to the side effects | F | 46 | 1 months | 6/18/2007 | 5 | fibromyalgia/osteoarthritis | severe pain in wallet | I have to take it with food otherwise my stomach hurts. It is not covered well by my 400.00 per month health insurance, so it is a 60.00 copay every month, which gets very, very expensive combined with all the other 60.00 copays. | F | 40 | 6 months | 6/14/2007 | 3 | Psoriatic Arthritis | Edemic Ankles | Works great on the hand and elbow pain | F | 51 | 21 days | 6/6/2007 | 1 | bone pain | Anxiety, feelings of wanting to not live anymore. | I switched from Naproxen, which after a couple of weeks on it at 500 mgs. twice a day, was beginning to work. I should have waited, but got the prescription for Celebrex 200 mgs. and took one. All day, feelings of total anxiety and depression. | F | 57 | 1 days | 5/27/2007 | 4 | back pain | none | M | 57 | 5 years | 5/14/2007 | 4 | Shoulder, foot, hip, lumbar pain | None at all. Takes effect in about 20 minutes. | Have used single 200mg, off-and-on, since 2001. I skip a dose occasionally to check the impact. I take myself off dose if current pain subsides and start again when some new area pain occurs. Ten years of weight training and running have rebuilt my core muscles following 35-40 years of serious, debilitating pain. One 200mg cap won't block pain (if present) for more than 15-18 hours so,occasionally, I may not sleep well. If I sensed ANY negative symptoms, as some describe, I wouldn't hesitate to toss the stuff. My Rx costs are fully covered. On the other hand, I paid for that benefit, up front, for 50 years. KOKO! | M | 70 | 7 years | 5/12/2007 |
