Brands > Celebrex

I was prescribed Celebrex for my severe anxiety and panic disorder. This was given to me as an alternative to Paxil because Celebrex is thought to have lesser side effects. I can agree that the side effects were milder then Paxil, but still so strong for me that I did not continue taking it.

As with the Paxil, I did not feel "normal". I fealt strange and not myself. Everything was in a fog and I couldn't think clearly. I experienced that same blurry vision from time to time and frequent yawning as I did with Paxil.

I will not take Celebrex again.

I used Celebrex because I had a knee problem that caused pain on a regular basis. I also had stiffness in the joint and tried another popular drug which made me itch tremendously.

After taking Celebrex the stiffness in the joint pretty much disappeared and the pain was almost completely gone.

About 4 years ago my mother started to develop arthritis like symptoms. I took her to the doctor and he suggested she use Celebrex. I swung by the pharmacy and she started using the medicine that night. She has used it ever since. So far it's fixed her problem and she's had no complaints.

I started taking celebrex because my Dr. believed I had some arthritis in my spine. I also had some inflammation going into my knee. I took the celebrex as prescribed for 3 months, however, the pain only grew worse. I was also experiencing terrible headaches and nausea from this medicine. As far as my pain went, it did nothing for it as well. Celebrex was not for me....

My 88-year old mother, whom I care for, was given Celebrex to help with her arthritis pain. She had been on Vioxx and a number of other anti-arthritic formulas and they regrettably didn't seem to help. Although she claims the Celebrex didn't do anything to help her, I personally noticed that she did not have as much trouble moving after she started her prescription. She was able to maneuver steps much more easily than before taking Celebrex, so I consider that a positive sign. After about two years, her doctor decided to take her off. This was at the time when Celebrex was being questioned as to its safety. I think Celebrex was the best drug she had been on for her arthritis.

I was given a trial prescription for Celebrex after breaking five bones in my left foot. My doctor said that I was at prime age for suffering from osteoporosis. He said that my x-ray did not show a strong bone structure and that given my small frame, that as a post-menopausal woman should consider this medication. I took the Celebrex, but experienced pain in my knees and all other major joints of my body. I continued to attempt to take the prescription, presuming that the pain I was experiencing was due to the "improvement" in my bones, but after a few weeks, I was unable to stand the pain any longer. I decided that I would not continue to take this medication even though others praise it.

I have been suffering with back and knee pain. Celebrex is the best on the market. Much more relief delivered than the usual OTC products. I am very glad my doctor prescribed this for me. My pain is at the point of neglible while on this.

Very good for my arthritis when I go play golf. Better than all the prescription drugs used in the past.

Celebrex has been a wonderful drug for me because I have arthritis in my hands and my knees. I had tried over-the-counter medications for months and had little success. When the doctor prescribed Celebrex I doubted it would help that much because my discomfort was intense. I was amazed at the difference in two days. I could open a jar again and I could walk without limping. I will never be without this medication.
