Experiences with

Celecoxib

I have tried etoricoxib and celecoxib to see if this helps with the joint pain, but neither did anything. I was on naproxen until yesterday.

recently my usual anti inflammatory tablets were not available so they switched me to CELECOXIB. There is a side effect where you can get sores in your mouth.

Was prescribed 6weeks - celecoxib anti inflammatories and lanzoprozole and Levo of course. I had weekly physio who also did acupuncture to help my body with the inflammation. I felt awful and in pain for months despite the month before being super fit!

I am not sure what to do anymore, he is in so much pain and is taking Ultracet (Tramadol + Paracetamol) 3 times daily and Celecoxib for anti-inflammatory effects.

Hi there , after a recent visit with a pain management doctor I have been ask the try some new medication called Celecoxib instead of Naproxen has anyone else use this medicine for chronic pain they said in a newish drug so not sure what to expect side affects etc...a also take pregablain 75mg day dose

[/i] [i]I am currently on 600mg pregabalin a day, 2 x , 3 x 30mg Nefopam, Duloextine and also amitriptyline 2 x10 mg at night to help me sleep.

[/i] [i]He has been on different pain meds over the years - currently high-dose gabapentin + celecoxib, originally for the SIJ but the celecoxib is also supposed to be helping the bilateral pain but it isn't - he is in SO MUCH pain, I can't stress it enough.

I take Omeperazole too as a protector as was initially taking Celecoxib for pain relief before my symptoms were under control. I no longer require pain relief so I’m wondering if I need to continue with Omeperazole? Are others taking this? thank you

I have been taking celecoxib which wasn't doing enough so now doubled the dosage, but still struggle sone days. I am so depressed and tearful now as well as in pain. I also have melanoma so cannot use anti TNF biologics. What happens now ?

I'm also on Celecoxib and Topiramate.

I'm also on Celecoxib and Topiramate. The tiredness is really getting to me and sometimes I actually feel stoned! It's ridiculous.

My regimen includes the medicines: Celecoxib, Atorvastin, Metformin, Sirolimus and low dose aspirin. ( I do not take doxycycline because of adverse effects on gut microbiome).

Due to my other medical issues I can’t take any NSIADS including: ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, celecoxib, mefenamic acid, etoricoxib & indomethacin. I normally take just cocodamol and rest when having bad flare ups. Along with expensive medical patches to sooth the areas.

I’ve been prescribed Amitriptyline, naproxen, paracetamol, codeine, celecoxib, and now Mirtazapine. I take Laxidol for my bowels and Esomeprazole for my stomach. I also use a hormone pessary for bladder irritation and Zopiclone, when I can beg some. I’m beginning to think I have fibromyalgia.

Also, the drugs I am now on are: Apixaban 5mg - twice a day for my blood thining Celecoxib 100mg - twice a day as my anti- inflamitory Omeprazole 100mg - once a day to protect my stomach Butec 5 Buprenorphine - 7 day patch Diclofenac Sodium 3% gel - for legs when needed Parecetamol 500gms - enough

I've been on various antiinflammatories over the years (I have widespread advanced OA now)but it's only since Celecoxib came onto the market that my stomach has been able to tolerate any. That's been stopped now too by Dr #%@#$%!!!!!!)

Has anyone had any experience of this? I was prescribed it for pain by my rheumatologist yesterday but have been alarmed by the information leaflet!

Others have advised me of the downsides of Celecoxib and, having been on it, for 2 years, I would like to stop.[u]Some questions:[/u]1) Tapering of Celecoxib - has anyone else done this? Any suggestions on the tapering approach?
