| 3 | after surgery inflammation | heart palpatations (pvc's), nausea) | Used to take this drug regularly before I suffered an afib caused stroke. After recent hernia op was told to take for 5 days only. Could only last 2 days, heart palpatations are too intense. | M | 63 | 2 days 200mg | 11/21/2014 | 4 | arthritis pain | I am pretty sure Celebrex causes an irregular heart beat. It also caused pretty significant drowsiness. Good pain relief, but not worth the cardiovascular side effect. | Good pain relief but the heart palpitations are enough reason for me to seek an alternative med. Very unsettling. | M | 63 | 3 days 200 mg qd | 11/11/2014 | 1 | Post Surgery Inflammation | Rapid heart rate,chest pains, stomach upset, insomnia, dizziness. | Should be banned, would never take again, just hoping it leaves my system soon. | F | 39 | 6 days 200MG | 11/9/2014 | 3 | arthritis in hip, | Nausea, drowsiness, pain not relieved when doing aquatic exercise. Felt feverish and like I was high. Not a good drug for me. | F | 60 | 2 days 200 | 11/4/2014 | 1 | bakers cyst | Just as Vioxx did for me several years ago, within 1 week, irregular heartbeats. I will never take it again. A new doctor prescribed it for me, not knowing my problems with Vioxx. | F | 76 | 10 days 30mg | 10/15/2014 | 4 | osteoarthritis of the feet | Tightness and pain in the chest. | Celebrex has done wonders for my foot pain. I have severe osteoarthritis of the feet so it is always painful to walk. Celebrex has reduced that pain to a tolerable level. So far not too many side effects. | M | 60 | 15 days 200 MG 2X day | 9/28/2014 | 4 | Osteoarthritis | After trying to wean my self off pain become much worse an had cold symptoms | F | 68 | 3 years 200mg | 9/23/2014 | 4 | osteoarthritis | Celebrex has worked great for my joint stiffness and pain. The only complaint I have is the horrible withdrawal symptoms I have if I forget to take it. It has happened twice in the last two years. I don't realize I have forgotten to take it until I begin to feel bad. I take it daily and both times this occurred, I had forgotten only one dose. The symptoms came on suddenly...generally feeling ill, like I had the flu. I chilled, had terrible muscle pain and achiness, and my joint pain was 3x worse than before I started taking Celebrex. Within an hour of taking a Celebrex, the symptoms let up significantly both times and completely disappeared after several hours. I have found testimony from a few others with similar symptoms. This is the only complaint I have, which seems to be very rare. I read on another site that less than 1% of patients surveyed have experienced this. | F | 55 | 5 years | 9/6/2014 | 1 | anti inflammatory after knee replac | Suddenly experienced extreme burning on my thighs and stinging pins and needles leading to painful sensitivity to the touch. A few days after stopping side effects diminished by 50% but still have the same side effects 2 weeks later which disturb my sleep. Definitely believe its hampering my recovery a bit | M | 45 | 1 weeks 200mg | 8/5/2014 | 2 | pain | I did not experience any pain relief. | F | 22 | 4 months 200 mg. | 8/1/2014 | 1 | Osteoarthritis | It certainly relieved my arthritis symptoms and I was always extremely diligent about taking it on a full breakfast to avoid gastrointestinal side effects but...... 18 months ago I had a routine gastroscope and it found some small cellular changes in the lining of my stomach. I was commenced on Nexium and reduced my Celebrex to alternate mornings. Just had my second gastroscope and I have pre-malignant Barrett's plus pre-malignant changes in my gastric lining from reflux and heartburn. And I had no symptoms since taking Nexium. I was advised by the gastroenterologist to NEVER take Celebrex again due to the potentially life-threatening changes in pathology. And yes, I have been almost teetotal for 32 years and a non-smoker for 35 years. | If you have ANY symptoms of heartburn, reflux, GORD.....get a gastroscopy as soon as possible. Barrett's Oesphagus leading to Oesophageal cancer and also gastric cancer are silent killers. | F | 60 | 3 years 200mgms 1X day | 6/27/2014 | 3 | Rheumatoid arthritis | Diarrhoea and drowsiness | M | 47 | 3 months 200 mg | 6/24/2014 | 1 | for Arthritis and joint pain | I have taken Celebrex for many years and it has TOTALLY DAMAGED MY KIDNEYS. I AM VERY MAD & UPSET with this manufacturer as they knew it would cause so many different and bad side effects on patients. I just was told by an E.R. Dr. To GET OFF OF THIS MEDICATION BUT THE DAMAGE TO MY KIDNEYS IS ALREADY DONE! PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!!!! YOU WILL HAVE KIDNEY FAILURE LIKE ME.....I am contacting an Attorney regarding this medication as it has ruined my LIFE AND MY BODY.... | F | 64 | 10 years 200 mg. | 5/26/2014 | 5 | Bilateral ankle fractures | None | I have taken Celebrex since I had car wreck in 1995, which I almost severed both feet off at the ankles. I was never suppose to walk again. This is a wonderful medication. NO ONE knows my pain with every step I take. Celebrex has not made all the pain go away, because I am a paramedic and work 16-24 hour shifts, but it makes a considerable difference. I can either take it and walk or not take it and not walk or play with my grandchild. Every body is different to any drug. I think it is up the each individual on taking it and live with the side effects and long term effects, I know what it can do. But is a miracle drug for me!!! | F | 41 | 18 years 200mg 2X day | 4/28/2014 | 1 | Arthritis osteo and rheumatoid | Leg cramps, deep vein thrombosis, felt like I was having a heart attack made me discontinue. Stomach pain and diarrhea. Worst was arm pain. Happy all went away 1 month after discontinuing this awful drug. | F | 48 | 6 months 20 | 4/21/2014 | 1 | Ankle pain from college racing | while I was on it, the pain in my ankle subsided substantially. However, I had taken one the night before and one the morning of a cross country meet and the pain and tightness in my chest was unbelievable. I am 19 years old and in amazing shape, but I could barely finish the 4 mile race. Months later, I still have occasional shortness of the breath and have difficultly in athletics at school. | F | 19 | 3 days 2X day | 3/19/2014 | 5 | No side effects | I have bad osteo and psoriatic arthritis. I have been on Bextra then Celebrex then Vioxx until it was removed from the market. Now back on Celebrex, total time on Celebrex about 13 years. No side effects, just had a heart exam and all is normal. I did have a problem with gastritis this year and the doctor put me on Omeprazole with the 1st dose of Celebrex and everything is back to normal. Bottom line is I can't function without Celebrex. It works wonders for me. I also have High Blood pressure and elevated lipids which have been under control for the last 30 years with medication. | M | 76 | 14 days 100 MG 2X day | 3/1/2014 | 5 | Ankylosing spondylitis/postop hip | So far only side effect is drowsy & I love it! I haven't slept well in many yrs from spine / joint pain keeping me up in pain. This reduces my pain & makes me sleepy. So far I love it. We'll see if any side effects happen with time. I do take heart meds & bp meds for low bp & so far have seen no issues. If I don't get side effects this is a God send for me. & I've tried it all! Back/spine/neck/hip pain is a 3 compared to a 6-8 normally & the limping in my hip is gone | F | 31 | 4 days 200mg dly | 2/15/2014 | 3 | Post bunion surgery | Gastro issues, burping, severe diahrerea, abdominal pai, night sweats, restlessness | Took once before pre surgery and stopped due to stomach pain | F | 36 | 14 days 200 1X day | 12/7/2013 | 5 | for arthritis in my spine | Crazy dreams, some times nightmares but nothing too upsetting. I'll take crazy dreams over the pain I was having any day! I will be devistated if you take this off the market. | F | 31 | 2 weeks 200 | 11/24/2013 |
