User Reviews for Celecoxib

I've been taking for 6days I have less body pain and can move better but exhausted all the time just want to sleep also day 4 started getting aches in my arms and back not sure if its just gas will try and stick it out but went from no movement from pain to no movement from exhaustion not sure which is worse.

I experienced severe reaction to this medication after taken it for three months. Hair loss and sloughing of skin. I stopped taking it and my hair started to grow back but the sloughing of skin maybe permanent. It`s been a year and my skin is not back . I discussed it with my doctor and all he did was put it in my medical records as a medicine that I have an allergic reaction to. I`m praying everyday for a miracle and I have faith God will heal my body and make my skin like new again.

4 days on this med and my lower back pain is manageable however, today I am experiencing sharp pain (ache) in the left mid adominable cavity. I have read numerous comments by celebrex users but non have mentioned a ache as I am experiencing. My thoughts are directed towards the liver but would appreciate feedback from other users that may have had this reaction.

It works ok for my pain but I have gain weight with it. I'm tired all the time and increased sweating. I can't take any Aleve with this med. I start having bloating problems. I've stop taking this med. No happy with the side affects. More weight mean my pain on my joints and back/neck...

I was recently prescribed Celebrex for my arthritis pain (primarily in my hips). I'm suppose to take one capsule twice a day. One capsule does NOTHING to relieve the pain. I've been taking two a time just to see if it helpsd. So far it hasn't, at least to any significant degree.

I started taking this med in 2005. By 2007 I felt that I had become immune to it so my Dr. changed meds. In 2008 I had surgery and the Ortho Dr. put me back on it. Now I feel that I'm back where I started.....immune to it.

Have taken this drug for 12 years and has successful in slowing down my Arthritis.

I am 71 years old, took celebrex for spinal pain and stopped it, then had very bad dizzy nes waking in the morning, does anybody else have same problem?

Tried lots of meds after my car accident. Celebrex works great and I only need 1 200 mg pill a day. It is expensive though.

it helps sometimes but i think maybe dosage isnt strong enough

My Doctor started me on this drug due to joint pain. My only concern is that I have had unexplained weight gain (only)

I started on 200mg in May 2013 for chronic lower back inflammation due to sports injuries. The MRI also showed 4 disks being effected by degenerative disease. Both of my knees have had Arthroscopic surgery due to meniscus tears - they both have degenerative joint disease as well. Remarkably, after three days on Celecoxib (Celebrex), not only did my lower back feel better than it has in 25 years, I also was feeling far less pain in both knees. It is now December 22, 2013 and I take a daily dose of 200mg in the morning with breakfast. I made sure I was a good candidate for this medication before continuing after it the first month. I am fortunate not to have liver, kidney or heart problems. I am an avid tennis player (hard courts in winter - clay courts in summer). I am also a Tennis Instructor during New England's spring, summer and fall seasons. I highly recommend this drug - just be sure to have a good talk with your doctor about being a "good" candidate for this medication. Best of luck with your aches and pains. Happy Holidays too!Read More Read Less

Easy to use for RA but brought no relief at all. Tried it for 2 months but didn't relieve any of the symptoms

I was having bad knee pain and the doctor prescribed this for me after trying lots of different things. It has worked well for me and has taken the inflammation down a lot.

The medication did the job it was supposed to for me however the side effects forced me to quit taking it. I developed severe shortness of breath and my heart would feel like it was racing. I had never had any problems with my breathing prior to taking this drug. Today I suffer from asthma.

persistent severe sinus, throat infection

I used Bextra before it was yanked off the market celebrex was the replacement. Bextra was an excellent med, but celebrex is just as good, but not better.

Worked to ameliorate inflammatory pain following neck surgery BUT caused very scary visual impairment characterized by blurred vision and a vertigo-like balance. Thus, I will never take this medicine again as it took nearly two weeks following cessation of use to have my vision return to normal.

When I do not take it, I know it. When I begin again I notice immediate results.
