Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I've taken the 200mg tablets of Celebrex with some really good results. It is easier on my stomach that the other NSAIDs.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I am also allergic to Sulfa and have been taking Celebrex with no problems since.... Hmmmm.... Well I have been taking it longer than I can remember! I would say at LEAST 5+ years. It has helped me alot. If I miss a dose, I feel it the next day!!!!! Good luck! *~ Kami ~* [ ] Celebrex anyone My doctor has asked me to try Celebrex. Anyone have any experience? I am really surprised as I am allergic to Sulfa drugs but he says that the chances of my having an allergic reaction are 1 in 100 and the benefits could outweigh the risks. I currently am on Enbrel, MTX, just started Nerontin and meds for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I filled the prescription but haven't taken any of the med yet. Phyllis .

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi, I took Celebrex for many years, way before the warnings came out about Viox ? sp? Anyway, I stopped taking because it didn't feel like it was working any longer. many people like the relief they get from that drug. I find yoga and water aerobics to be very helpful to relieve pain and feel stronger. This is the best I have felt in years!

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I took Celebrex for about 4 days when I had terrible pains in my GI tract. I stopped it immediately and was stabilized in just a couple of days. Later I took Vioxx and within 10 days my left calf started swelling so I quit taking it also.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 My insurance company put it on their top tier, meaning that it would cost me $50 a month. I switched to arthritis-strength Tylenol, which is enough, since Enbrel is working so well for me.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thank you everyone for your responses! I have decided to try the Celebrex. I took the first one last night so I imagine it will take some time to start working. I do appreciate the responses! Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
