Headaches and stomach cramps are a...
I only gave one star,because iv never taken this medication. ( yet) Celebrex 200 mg for a year, I can get out of bed and be somewhat normal, but have not walk more then 50 yards without pain. ( L4-L5-S1-Hip problems) nine injectings over the three years all NSADS, PT twice. Can this be taken with Celebrex? Has anyone taken both together?

I take 50mg tablets every 6 hours or so and have shallow breathing, but it does seem to alleviate enough of the pain to make it tollerable.

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Nothing has worked for the pain until now. I am actually able to function. The only thing I have noticed, is I seem to become more easily agitated in this medication. It leaves me "tense" feeling.

My doctor prescribed this medication for my severe carpal tunnel syndrome after taking percocet for about one month. I am very pleased with it. However, it seems that when I miss a dose I am experiencing withdrawl symptoms. I thought that since this was a non-narcotic drug that this wouldn't happen. I am not too happy that I was not informed of this prior to starting this medication since I wanted to stop the percocet for that very reason.

This is a dangerous drug that is VERY addictive. My daughter became extremely emotional and when she tried to stop she began having withdraws. She is now in detox trying to get this out of her system. My advice is don't take it.

I have a lot of back problems- degenerative disc disease, 3 herniated & bulging discs, bone spurs on my spine, and a narrow spinal canal. I have taken this medication before & it made me crazy. I kept hallucinating. I dreamt that my cat was underneath the carpet and when I woke up I kept asking my husband how he got the cat out. I thought it was real. My Pain Management Dr. prescribed it for me again this week and I feel like a zombie all the time. Not only do I get the weird side effects, but there's no relief in my pain whatsoever. It's pointless to take, but since I've had 3 doctors tell me there's nothing they can do for me, I figured I'd give it a try. But I guess I'll just be living in pain for the rest of my life. It's bad because I'm only 25 years old.Read More Read Less

I have only been taking Ultram ER 200mg for a couple of months. However I missed my dose for 3 days and went it to withdrawl sypmtoms. I started having really bad tremors, sweating, and nausea. If you don't have to take this medicine don't or at least find out the withdrawl symptoms before you start.
