User Reviews for Celebrex oral

I have been on and off Celebrex for 10 years. I've had no side affects. My cardiologist said it's very safe. It's saved me a lot of painful years.

Celebrex caused severe inflammation of my stomach, ulcers, and polyps. I ended up in the hospital with dangerously low, haemoglobin and anaemia. Started having chest pains, shortness of breath and extreme acid reflux months prior to ending up in the hospital. Had to have blood transfusion for the anaemia and a stomach scope, which show the extent of damage caused by Celebrex. I was ordered to stop immediately. It will be weeks before I’m back to normal, but I feel better already having stopped this medication! Heed my warning, and pay attention if you have any symptoms like those I’ve described. Celebrex can kill your stomach!Read More Read Less

Worst decision l ever made using celebrex. I developed serious anxiety and insomnia, six months down the track l have list 11 kilos and am now taking cbd to rectify my insomnia.

i’ve been on this medication for about 3/5 months. unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be working for me. my hands stay swollen and still ache, and naturally are worse as i do things. now as i’ve had plantar fasciitis,which is better, but toes and my calf are numb and tight, so i’ll first try my new inserts to see if it helps before i take the step to my Dr about this medication

First, I don't have Joint Inflammatory Disease in Children and Young Adults. This page didn't offer enough choices. I have chronic neck and shoulder pain from old injuries. Can't sleep for the pain. I was taking Vioxx before it was discontinued (best treatment I ever had), then they put me on Naprosyn - which worked but is very hard on the stomach. Switched to Celebrex. Not quite as good as Vioxx was, but one 200mg cap lets me sleep at night. I sometimes take a 100mg during the day if I am doing something strenuous (shoulders act up). Zero side effects. Amazing. I have been cutting up big trees from some recent storms (10 hour days with a chainsaw) and I had to take 200mg during those days. Before I started Celebrex, I couldn't even pick up my saw without pain.I just completed 4 days of cutting (and I did a total of 7 days last month). Read More Read Less

Crap drug. Dr scripted generic cataolopram for anxiety. So, 1 month later, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, vision loss, tinnitus, shakiness, gastro bleeding, etc...absolutely zero effect on anxiety. Oh, then the withdrawal symptoms, brutal. Someone had to pay someone to get this drug approved. It caused extreme chest pain, difficulty walking. Walking 2 streets away to a grocery store, I could barely make it home on the return, at the 1st street, I fell to the ground on all fours, as I was violently shaking, getting tunnel vision,, barely getting breath. Made it home, could not make it up the seven steps. Sat on the first step, groceries strewn about, violently shaking. Brutal. Absolutely brutal. It lasted over 30 mins before I attempted to go inside. These events, lasted over 3 weeks. My vision is still affected, and I still have gastro intestinal bleeding, all thanks to the makers of celebrex, may you all rot in hell. Avoid this drug, at all costs!Read More Read Less

I have painful arthritis in my left knee, and around three thoracic vertebrae in my back. I took generic celebrex once a day for two days so far and my pain has disappeared. I had used it for a week for knee pain last year with similar results. I think it has been very effective, and I have not had any side effects.

i have been on 200 mg a day for the past two weeks. I feel fine in the mornings, and lessened pain. However after about 10 hours of taking it, I feel horrible. dizzy, heart palpitations, weakness and nausea. This lifts after the 14th hour and starts again the next day regularly. Whats UP?

I sprained my ankle 5 months ago and then developed planters facitis. I received a steroid injection and then was put on Celebrex. I took I dose and my face turned extremely red and I felt hot, also had stomach cramps.

Takes all the aches and pains away

I have osteoarthritis and on my pain scale of 1-10 I'd say it's an 8 on a daily basis. I was on 200mg Celecoxib (generic of Celebrex) for about 6 weeks. On the first day, within 6 hours of taking it, I was essentially pain free. It was amazing, and continued to relieve the pain to a high degree. However, I had terrible gas and flatulence along with bloating and heartburn as side effects; the kind of flatulence that you can't even remotely conceal! I got some OTC anti-gas medication and it helped a little, but not enough. Ultimately, the gas was giving me an even worse quality of life than the pain because I didn't want to be around people due to not being able to control the flatulence. I stopped taking it and the bloating has gone away, as has the flatulence and gas. I take 200-400mg of Ibuprofen now, instead. It's not quite as effective on the pain and stiffness but at least I can still function. If you don't have nasty side-effects from Celebrex, it's a game changer for those with arthritic pain!

Celebrex worked wonders for the pain and inflammation I was experiencing. My surgeon ordered it short term until I could get my total knee replacement. After being on it for 1 month, I started experiencing many side effects. Worse being kidney problems. I am now on a catheter and have never had urinary or kidney problems. STOP TAKING IT

Found that the 200mg capsules were too hard on the stomach so tried the 100mg .much better. Also works better when taken with panadol or panadolosteo. And always take after food. Or with a class of milk. A smaller dose taken twice a day is always better than a high dose once a day which can cause stomach alsers.

This is absolutely the best nsaid around. Works better than most opiate medicine. I have herniated discs and I can barely get around, with celebrex I actually feel little to no pain. Great to be able to live life

Full body pain, couldn’t stand up straight by the end of the day. Took two weeks to really see a difference but after one month much less pain and almost back to usual self. Loose stool, gas and bloating is improving but worth going through for less pain. I am, however, gaining weight. ??

Had issues with a staph infection following a total knee replacement. Enough pain to interfere with rehabilitation. Once I started taking Celecoxib, the pain dissipated, my range of motion improved and I rapidly gained back the ground lost when treating the staph infection. I had been eating ibuprofen and acetaminophen like candy and knew I was doing more harm to my organs than good for the pain. This was a real game changer. I was lucky enough not to have the gas or stomach issues that some reviewers have, I’ll take the win. Read More Read Less

Greatly reduced my back and leg pain. I can function almost normally for a 63 year old man. Some gastrointestinal side effects in the beginning like bloating and loose stool now and then. But after a month I’m doing well and find this Med to be a god send. It’s the best pain Med that’s not an opioid.

My knee replacement was delayed due to COVID and I was taking so much ibuprofen and then antiacids, even through the night. Sleep was interrupted by pain and indigestion from the ibuprofen. Called my dr and asked for prescription strength ibu but she suggested generic Celebrex. GAME CHANGER!! I'm sorry I waited so long to call. Have used for 7 months - still waiting for surgery - and have much reduced pain and swelling. I'm sleeping better and experiencing less indigestion.

Nothing special...... and a lot of stomach upset! No real help for the lower back pain either!

I worked on concrete floors in plants for several years and it took a toll on my legs. I could barely walk at times. I took ibuprofen to no avail. My doctor put me on Celebrex and now I feel like my old self. It is so WONDERFUL. I've had loose stools every now and then and insomnia a few times but I THANK GOD FOR THIS MIRACLE DRUG. It Took 2 weeks for it to start working. Praise the Lord. Penny Maddox Smith
