Re: Anyone have any info on these MEDS?

[Guest guest]

Usually Michele (one L) chimes in on the Bextra issue. I have her

permission to copy what she'd say, though:

* copied with permission:

Bextra is the newest, next generation of NSAIDS. It is simply an

anti-inflammatory with no compound to aid in the protection of our GI

systems.

I want to help everyone understand the reason NSAIDS are dangerous for us.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not just that they are " pouch burners " as

the industry wants us to believe. It goes much deeper than that. According

to an article published in the June 1999 New England Journal of Medicine,

NSAIDS, once absorbed into the blood stream cause a chain of chemical

reactions that affect the prostaglandins and this in turn reduces the

production of mucus in the GI system. The mucus is what

lines our GI system and protects our pouch and intestines from damage.

If the mucus production is reduced, this would allow ANYTHING, including

eating something with too sharp of an edge or foods that are extremely

spicy, to inadvertently begin a marginal ulcer. The best answer is to avoid

NSAIDS at all cost. Taking an H2 receptor drug such as Prilosec, Prevacid

or Nexium is only a band-aid and no guarantee that it will protect you.

If you are desperate to try an NSAID, my recommendation would be

Arthrotec. It is an NSAID with a prostaglandin compound in it that tries to

prevent the chemical chain of events I was speaking of in the above

paragraph. There are still no guarantees. You are at risk for marginal

ulcers any time you take an anti-inflammatory medication.

Ultram is a mild narcotic and can be habit forming, so I would not

recommend more than a six week course of it at any one time.

Alvie, I take 30 mg of Paxil a day. You have to work with your doctor to see

what works best for YOU.

Alvie,

I tried taking Paxil at one time. I am thinking one of the

reasons my doctor wanted me to try it was for weight loss effect. I

don't have any idea about the sexual appetite thing. You might want to

call a pharmacists or even look it up on the internet.

desire and I started to have weird hallucinations.....found out I wasn't the

only one. But, this doesn't mean it will happen to you.......hope it works
