Subj: I choose the celebrex
Date: 9/16/2009
I've been using celebrex for years and not gained weight. I have a complicated medical history traumatic accident with back/pelvis involvement, lupus/r.a. and breast cancer. I'm on a list of medications and have in the past tried to stop taking the celebrex to see if I could try to cut down on all the meds. It helps me quite a bit. I'll put it this way, if I had to choose only on medication out of the seven + I now take without a doubt I choose the celebrex. Just remember to take it with food, it can be hard on the stomach.

Subj: Weight gain
Date: 9/18/2009
I've been just put on celebrex for degenerative joint disease in my feet. 1 dose and I feel much better. However in reading your feedback on the drug, I'm finding weight gain! I'm already attempting to loose 30 lbs. I can't afford the added problem. Do all the nsaids cause weight gain?
Jan

AskDocWeb: Weight gain with NSAIDs does not appear to be common but as you can see by the feedback it does occur. If you do experience weight gain it is important to talk with your healthcare provider. Unexplained rapid weight gain may be a sign of congestive heart failure in some people. All NSAIDS may cause congestive heart failure.


Subj: Appetite suppressant?
Date: 9/24/2009
I've been taking Celebrex for just 3 days for joint pain. What a relief. I've read other postings about weight gain, but was wondering if it can act as appetite supressant? Since starting the dosage I haven't felt like eating a thing! Could the lack of appetite be connected to the Celebrex? I'm not on any other medications. Thanks.
Jessica

AskDocWeb: No changes in appetite are listed in the side effects for Celebrex, neither an increase nor a decrease. On the other hand, a common complaint among patients being treated for pain is that they lose their appetite.


Subj: Hypermobility syndrome
Date: 10/2/2009
I was on Celebrex and Cymbalta for hypermobility syndrome(joint pain) Two Drs told me I should go off. So, I went off. 3 days after I went off I developed an acute sore throat with a sore in the back of my throat. It's not strep. I have already lost 5 pounds since going off the drugs. I'm on Erythromycin because the doctor can't tell if it's a virus or what? I think it's the celebrex discontinuance. I'm a little dizzy from going off the Cymbalta. I started 4000 units of fish oil about 2 months ago. I haven't had any night hand pain since discontinuing celebrex nor Cymbalta. If fish oil is it then I'm happy to be off the drugs...

Subj: Hard to lose weight
Date: 10/7/2009
Celebrex, I am on 200mg a day and have been for some years now. I am 52 and exercise most days, but find it hard to lose weight. But having read this page about other peoples problems with weight gain. I think I will stop celebrex for a little while and see if this makes a difference. My question is, can you stop using this drug without and dangers?
Mr

AskDocWeb: Most of the people who stop taking Celebrex while they still need it say, "Yikes, the pain!" They don't realize how well is working until they stop taking it. Please talk to your doctor about an appropriate alternative before discontinuing.


Subj: Alternatives?
Date: 10/9/2009
Had a severe reaction to Celebrax, had to be in the hospital. Is there another pain reliever I can take beside tylenol, I'm having severe shoulder pain? Thanks,
Candace

AskDocWeb: When it comes to choosing an alternative to Celebrex, we suggest you leave the choice up to your doctor as to what might work best for you. Depending on your condition, a few of the possibilities might be Tramadol (Generic Ultram), Butalbital (Generic Fioricet), Ultracet (Analgesic Combo), Carisoprodol (Generic Soma and Watson Brand), and Cyclobenzaprine (Generic Flexeril). There are too many alternatives to list them all here.
