celebrex

Avatar n tn So do I need to have my Cymbalta adjusted since I take 200 mg daily of Celebrex? I am not on the 60 mg of Cymbalta. I decided to take it for 2 reasons- 1 want my pain to go away and why not at least try it and 2 maybe it will relieve some of my depression (for which I am seeing a counselor) and I guess 3 since my husband doesn't seem to want to really try as much as in the past to have children what can it hurt I thought. THank you for your comments.

237152 tn?1206651036 I have been researching Topamax and all I can find is info. about seizures and migraines. Why would he give me this, and is it addictive? Anyone have any knowledge?
Avatar f tn Help I was diagnosed 6 years ago and now take Lyrica, Cymbalta and Celebrex for RSD. I have gained 43 punds along with tiredness, fuzzy thinking at times. My pain is in control but the weight gain is aggravating my knee pain and scoliosis of the spine. It is hard to have the stamina I need to work with children in my center sometimes. Is there something else I can take. I really want to know what exercises work since eating doesn't move the scale.
1577364 tn?1296689784 I have tried celebrex, Lyrica, Cymbalta and Savella and none of these provide me with any relief. The only thing that helps is Oxycontin, but drs. are relunctant to prescribe on an ongoing basis. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
924711 tn?1290266557 I am currently taking celebrex for arthritis, but it is a NSAID and I read we should not take them. I was diagnosed with Fibro but was afraid to take cymbalta. IS there anyone here who takes cymbalta without any problems? I am Genotype 1A with stage 2 fibrosis. Any feedback?
1275906 tn?1270946696 Welcome to our group. Finally getting a dx is a relief. I have been on Relefen ( NSAID) and now Celebrex for the pain and infammation for the past 10 yrs. but they are no longer working and It appears I will need to look into some type of maintainance dose of some type of pain reliever, not just an anti-inflammatory. Docs give everyone a hard time w those these days because unfortunately there are so many people out there abusing their docs for pain meds. I'll see how that goes.
Avatar n tn Once your inflammation dissipates and you stop taking Celebrex everything should return to normal, that is, if you didn't have high morning glucose levels previously. IMHO.
Avatar m tn I don't think it should be an issue, I took Celebrex and Morphine for an extended time with no issue. Ask your doctor about any concerns though.
Avatar n tn My two daughters take Celebrex as a person would take Advil here or there and do fine with it .. they both cannot take ibuprofen. My son cannot take it since birth as he gets bad reflux from in .. They make custom made ibuprofen suppositories if you really need a NSAID but cannot do it by mouth and they are wonderful .. you need a compounding pharmacy but my co pay was only $8.00!
Avatar f tn I have neuropathic nerve pain from a botched neck spinal fusion 2013. After 2 more spinal fusions to correct the problem it was determined that the problems i am having cannot be corrected. I am left with permanent damage and neupathic nerve pain. To add to it my lower back has disc compression issues. I have been getting injections for this when its unbearable, but im apprehensive about surgical treatment.
Avatar m tn Has anyone used Celebrex for their Crohn's? I have severe joint point pain and I have been told that Celebrex is a huge help for this. I am wondering about side effects and medicine interactions.
Avatar n tn She is 64 but she also has osteoporosis and arthritis in her lower back. The back doctor just prescribed Celebrex, is this the safest drug for her? Also what should people with Hep C do to better care for their liver eventhough so far she seems to have a healthy liver. For the osteoporosis she is on Fosamax. She has been on it for several years. I am just afraid that too many potent drugs can be harmful for her liver.
548642 tn?1266179652 my gi didnt even know the dose to celebrex so i doubt he knows if its good to my liver! im telling yall hes stupid and i need to find a new dr asap!
Avatar f tn Hey Hopey. I was just prescribed Celebrex too!! I'm very anxious to see how well it helps b/c i have constant back pain and have tried several meds that haven't given ANY relief. I started the Celebrex today, 600 mgs. And will take 400 mgs/day after today. The dr DID say it can take a few days to start feeling relief from it.
Avatar m tn I have been on methotrexate and celebrex for at least 15 years, probably long. I am currently in a tremendous amount of pain in my fingers, elbows, shoulders, left knee and left hip. Volteran gel has not helped at all and neither has Aleve. Can I take tramadol with these two drugs? I have recently switched my insurance and am waiting to get into a new rheumatologist.
Avatar f tn I did great on Armour. It all started about a year after switching to Levo. Really got out of sinc so doc added Cytomel and I had a reaction to it. Lips and mouth swelled and raw. And I don't have allergies, normally.
Avatar f tn t really that affective for me but my insurance made me try practically every NSAID on the market before they would approve Celebrex. They denied Celebrex and even recommended a PPI (ulcer med) to take with the NSAID's because they didn't want to pay for Celebrex. After they denied me 4 or 5 times, they finally approved it. So now I take 400mg of Celebrex a day and it's a lot more effective than any other NSAID i've been on.

1962464 tn?1344606673 Dixie51 I'm taking 14 different drugs. It seems like a lot but like you I have Fibromyalgia, Depression, M.S, Epilepsy just to name a few. Now the M.S causes a lot of my problems since it's also a side effect from the meds I have to take. I don't see Cymbalta on your list. I see Celebrex for pain in joints, Levothyroxin for thyroid?, and I know that Prozac (which causes complete disinterest in sex...been there got rid of that one) for your anxiety.
503607 tn?1275671579 She has tried steriods, beta blockers, Cymbalta, Celebrex, Topamax, Nortriptine and pain meds. Nothing has brought relief. Can anyone make any recommendations she is desperate for help. She has seen numerous neurologists and they keep trying the same things. We are on Long Island in NY if anyone has any recommendations for a great doctor.
Avatar f tn Does anyone take celebrex?I started Prozak last week and they want me to take celebrex too. They say my liver can take it, (stage 2 fibrosis). But I am afraid of the NSAIDs in celebrex, any one else taking it? Oh, I am on Methadone too. I am having my first liver biopsy in the morning, so I will find out more about my liver. I am scared to death about it coz I have had so many problems lately.
Avatar f tn No, it would be unheard of for Celebrex to damage your heart valve. Celebrex and similar drugs do cause high blood pressure in many individuals, though. You might have gone forever and not known about the heart valve if you had not gotten high blood pressure from the Celebrex. Follow whatever advice the cardiologist gave you, and don't worry.
