Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yes I have tried them all, vioxx, celebrex, and bextra as well as all the other ones, oxycontin, percocet, oxy ir, vicodin, on and on and on. The bextra did not do a darn thing for me, and it is a pricey little drug. I wish it has worked but it didn't. I had better luck with ultram wich is a non narcotic, if your looking for non narcotic drugs, i would sure give the bextra a shot, see if he will give you samples though, as it is expensive. My podiatrist gave me a box of them to try and I took them for about 3 months and found that the pain was the same. So I never had to pay for it. Others tell me it is great though, so who really knows as we are all different. For me the best pain reliever i ever took was oxycontin, but it can be hard to get and it too is pricey. also it is a narcotic and lots of people don't want to take them as they have a stigma attached to them. Anyhow that is my take on Bextra. Give it a shot, but see if you can get some samples to try first. hugs - In , " nantynannie " <nantynannie@y...> wrote: > Has anyone tried Bextra?
