mobic and side effects

Thx for all your input. I'm now off of Meloxicam/Mobic due to side effects. Went back to using Aleve and am doing well with it; per DR's recommendation. I'm also coming off of Paxil and Ritalin since the Paxil doesn't seem to do anything for my depression and the Ritalin makes me too "jittery" feeling. Have an appointment with my Phychiatrist in mid October to review my meds and alternatives. I'll post more then.

Please tell me the side effects and potential problems when taking all of the following medications by prescription: Cymbalta (60 MG), Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen (5-500 MG), Ibuprofen (800 MG), Mobic (15 MG), Oxycodone-Acetaminophen (5-500 MG), Plaquenil (200 MG), Xanax (0.5 MG).

Hi there.....May I ask if they are being prescribed by the same Dr.? Even if so, it's always the Pharmacist who runs the check for interactions between medications so speak with them in addition to asking your Dr. if he wants you to be taking these two together or space them apart by x amount of hours. Many Drs. are not aware of specific interactions of all medications so this is why it's also important to only use one Pharmacy.

My mama used to take Mobic and it helped her back alot. Unfortunately for her, it upset her stomach so she quit taking it with no side effects following. Best wishes.

I told this doctor that I have a hiatal hernia and reflux, and that when I take NSAIDS I get sick. Stomach bleeding and the such, I would like to know if anyone else knows why meds would turn against my body after taking them for so long, I don't think it's medically possible for the medication to just turn on your body and give you reverse reactions to the meds, for instance when I take the clonazapam for my anxiety symptoms I get anxiety even worse than I already have.

Hi... I was diagnosed with ostearthritis & fibromyalgia a few years ago...and have been taking mobic since then, which has worked. About a month ago, the mobic didn't seem to be working as well.. my hands were hurting a lot at work... so I went back to my dr & he changed my medicine to relafen for the osteoarthritis & lyrica for the fibromyalgia. Although the lyrica seems to work, I'm not liking the side effects, puffy hands & feet & eye twitching...

I took that medication too but my doctor told me I had to wait up to 2 weeks for the medication to start working properly. I had to stop it by the 5th day because the side effects were awful and that pill almost killed me. As far as I know this medication (Mobic) is prescribed for arthritis. For pain I took a muscle relaxer Flexeril and it worked since the first day I took it. In 2 days I was pain free in my neck, arms and shoulders after having non stop pain and numbness for months.

3 due to side effects of not being able to take more Synthroid for supression due to anxiety side effects. Once I began taking my Vit D supplements (first 6 weeks 100,000 iu's followed by 1X week 50,000 iu's) my recheck is normal at 32 with no symptoms. I am on Mobic 15mgs for severe chronic tibial tendonitis and arthritis in my ankle. Same timeframe Vit D depleted.

In a search for an answer to your side effects question I also did some looking into the prescribed Meloxicam. Some of the side effects of Mobic (meloxicam) are problems with vision or balance and headaches. Sorry I could not be of greater assistance. Please discuss your SX with your prescribing physician. It may behove you to try an alternative pain medication to see if your SX will decrease or resolve.

I can understand building up a tolerance to the medication but not having all of these symptoms and side effects with whatever medication I take. I didn't think taking docusate would give me more constipation or pain in my joints. The doctors I have been seeing don't have a clue as to what is happening with my body or the meds, I need to know what kind of Doctor I need to be referred to to fix this problem, I am now itching from taking Docusate and Mobic.

It was approved on 4-14-2000 by the FDA to initially treat osteoarthritis. The drug interferes with the anti inflammatory process. The usual and customary side effects of strong NSAID's apply to this drug. I have not personally taken this medication. Others will post with additional information and hopefully someone has taken it. Please let us know how it works for you.

I am not very knowledgeable about any of this so please bear with me, I have been told I have a Haglund triad in my left foot. Physio provided no relief and I could not take mobic due to Side effects and the Panadol osteo was doing nothing to help. I ended up seeing a specialist who has just given me a cortisone injection, I'm not even sure if this was for the bursitis or the severe insertional Achilles tendinopathy. The needlestick appears to be into the Achilles tendon.

I am on methadone 10mg twice a day, I am supposed to take clonazapam .05mg 4 times a day. I tapered myself down from 90mg over a months time span. The clonazapam I take occasionally and rarely. I stopped taking the clonazapam because I was having all of the side effects listed on the drug. I mean all of them. I haven't been on it on a regular basis for over 4 or 5 months now. I didn't want to be on this drug, but this is what the psychiatrist recommended.

they have had me on them off an on for several years for the fibro and i get alot of upper respitory infections........they help with the pain some, but yep sure will make u eat!!!!

i actually had to be on mobic for a while. its generic name is meloxicam..its a nonsteriodal anti inflammitory. i am no longer taking it, but its good and works well.

Hi there, I just want to tell you that with early and aggressive treatment, your disease doesn't necessarily have to get significantly worse. Placquenil and methotrexate (mtx) are to of the first, go-to, baseline meds they almost always try. I've been on mtx for decades and it's been my mainstay. Both meds have been around for a long, long time and their efficacy and side effects are well known and documented.

s effectiveness, the potential side effects and benefits of methotrexate are virtually the same whether it is given orally or by injection. Liver damage remains the main concern, and is monitored by frequent blood tests. Taking 1 mg of folic acid per day can help reduce other side effects related to methotrexate use, such as mouth sores or gastrointestinal irritation." I suggest you try to look outside the conventional box for answers.

My PCP, at this same time, prescribed 15mg of Mobic (an NSAID), and 10mg Flexeril (a muscle relaxer) to treat my low back pain which I started taking daily for 1 month. I have since discontinued those meds, and am not having the low back pain. My PCP prescribed Bentyl, for colon spasms... it did nothing for the pain. He also prescribed aciphex for me to take daily (I don't seem to have heart burn or any other GERD type symptoms).

My EEG came back abnormal as focal other of left and right temporal lobe and was put on Depakote and it worked for a week and then I had side effects and had to be taken off of it, Neurologist decided not to try anything else. Opthamologist and neuro Opthamologist still think I have Myasthenia Gravis and Sjogrens. And I have started having more problems and my Neuro won't even try to figure it out, that is why i am seeing a new Neuro on the 11th.

i am dizzy and have disgusting nausea.my pain is so much better,but the side effects suck.i am in bed now hoping it all just goes away.feel like a junky and like ruining my bfs life.honestly who wants to live with a person like me...i feel so disgusting...sorry i needed to vent.anyone who has taken the medicine please tell me about ur experience.

I have also done some research and I hate all the possible side effects from these shots. I started taking Tramadol, gabetin, mobic, and mentholcarbanol, these pills really are not good for my stomach. I already have reflux and lots of heartburn and even though I take Dexilant for my stomach I just couldn't take them anymore.....Thanks for you reply...

The mobic helped a bit with mobility (all my joints were stiff and painful by then), but the tramadol did nothing other than make me too sleepy to function. Unfortunately, a few months later I lost my health insurance and could no longer see a doctor to get the Mobic renewed, so I went back to managing with Advil for the next 6 years. In Nov. 2011 I was in a terrible car accident.

I was taking Ibuprofen for years and the pain in my knees was intollerable and I was confined to a wheel chair. About a year ago I started taking 1400 IU of Vitamin D and stopped the ibuprofen totally, my arthritis was doing MUCH better, even started taking short walks, however, recently, I had an injury and started taking Ibuprofen.....now my knees hurt all the time. Can Ibuprofen deplete vitamin D?
