CELEBREX  (CELECOXIB):  This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor, which relieves pain and swelling (inflammation). It is used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. The pain and swelling relief provided by this medication helps you perform more of your normal daily activities. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. This drug works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain and swelling.   FDA Approval Date: 2002-08-29 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  RA the usual from poisoness drugs; note if you ask me a question leave me your e-mail address or I can't respond all of the drugs only work for the first few months; ask Michael douglas and his stage 4 cancer diagnosis only after 9 months. However I hve found that post chronic effective cures can be found and in the RA case vitamin B complex and the honey-vinegar diet; these can be found at Dr (PhD not MD) Saul's website doctoryourself.com, or his book Fire Your Doctor, which I did (so did Michael Douglas!).

Patient History
 1  Knee swelling from arthritic build Muscles cramped after stopping. Could not walk, sleep, sit, or move without muscle weakness and pain. Dr's said nothing they can do. I haven't meet anyone with positive comments. There are many law suits outstanding against the mfg. They should take it off the market. In Canada, there is no law to follow a drug once released. Shameful! M 60 2 weeks

 1  arthritis pain After the 28 days my legs were swollen so I quit taking it. Since then I went and had 2 sea clay wraps which pulled out a lot of the fluid. Now both of my inner knees are swollen and I have pain all up and down my legs. This is a bad drug...not only did it not do a thing for me, now I have more problems than before...problems I never had. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Should be off the market. F 57 28 days

 3  hip replacement pain Osteo. Dr. put me on 2x per day because I have pain with a Depuy hip replacement, promises I'll be better in 2 weeks. Gave me my choice of Celebrex or Aleve. I chose Celebrex; but now I'm wide awake in the middle of the night, anxious, nervousness, what should I do? Would a high doseage of Aleve give the same effect? For pain, Great! but I'm afraid of side effects. I take Cartia for irregular heartbeat, am I affecting my heart med? F 72 12 days

 5  Back & Leg Pain NONE I can't believe the DISSING this drug has taken by commenters. This drug was the first COX-2 breakthrough drugs...no crappy side effects like other NSAIDS...yes, I mean no Crap. This drug works great with me and I have taken it since it was introduced, in fact I told my RHUM-doctor about it first! I do only take it when I have pain not every day but when I do have sharp Arthritic pain I take it and voila in a couple hours I feel much better. THANK YOU CELEBREX FOR GIVING MY MOBILITY AND LIFE BACK! M 48 12 years

 2  osteoarthritis Having lots of gas! Causes rapid heart beat and I am very fatigued. Also having increased appetite and weight gain. Really don't like these side effects at all. My pain is some what better but definetly not worth all the side effects and the way I feel. I was determined to give it a month but don't think I can continue to feel this way. Probably gonna call it "quits" for Celebrex! F 55 3 weeks

 1  Pain from quadriceps tear At first, I experienced no side effects. However, on the third day, I began to feel a tender spot on my thoracic spine which gradually developed into generalized shoulder and neck stiffness. This was compounded by increasing anxiety and nervousness, and an inability to sleep at night. These side effects constantly increased day-by-day until I decided to quit Celebrex. I have stopped Celebrex as of this morning, and hope that my anxiety and nervousness go away soon. I would rather deal with the pain. M 58 15 days

 4  Chronic Epididymitis None I have chronic dull pain in the left testicle due to repeated bouts of epididymitis in the past. I had tried taking over-the-counter Ibuprofen and Naproxen but in both instances they gave me such unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects that I had to quit after a few days. My Urologist then recommended Celebrex as an alternative. I have been taking 200mg 2x a day and it really takes the edge off the pain just as effectively or better than the other NSAIDs but without the GI side effects. It has gotten rid of alot of the swelling/inflammation as well. I am very pleased with the medication, however, im giving it 4 stars instead of 5 just because it is pretty expensive and there is no cheaper generic version available at the time of writing this.

 3  Neck arthritis Anxiousness, heart racing at times, EXTREME insomnia. Trouble going to sleep, then wake up like clockwork at 2 or 3am and up many times for the duration. I cannot continue. Will try starting today to cut back to 200mg in the AM. If no luck, then I will ditch it and try a Chiropractor. M 48 30 days
