Celebrex for Spondyloarthritis Reviews
"I relied on Celebrex for 5 years for inflammation relief. Took 200mg daily sometimes 400mg. Naturally, it’s important to protect your stomach lining. Cimetidine did this job fine. Right now I’m on a break from Celebrex. My rheumatologist is seeing lots of petechiae due to chronic use. Even at 100mg a day. It does thin the blood. After 7 days of stopping the petechiae has faded dramatically there is no new bruising on my body anywhere at all. Something I’ve become used to seeing. I don’t have a crushing headache every day, a side effect worth the joint pain relief. But, I’m in pain without it. I’m taking 1-5mg of prednisone for now. Keeps me awake but it’s nice to see my arms and hands look normal. Petechiae is strange. It’s red. Usually, one medium spot with a whole bunch of little spots sprinkled around it. They take forever to go away and come back quickly. Makes me look OLD. I still recommend this drug as needed but maybe not every day."

I began taking Flonase for vertigo which my doctor thought could be caused by pressure on my inner ear due to a sinus condition. I noticed no discernible improvement in any of my symptoms but continued taking it anyway, hoping that they would improve over time. I did not make the connection between the side effects and the nasal spray right away, because I thought they were side effects of the vertigo I was treating.After the anxiety, eye pain, insomnia and fatigue reached a certain point, however, I began to suspect that something more was afoot. It has been almost two weeks now since I've been able to get more than 3 hours of sleep at night. My vertigo and dizziness has grown worse, especially increasing in the last week or so.When I woke fully after only an hour's sleep last night, completely exhausted yet unable to sleep, it dawned on me that Flonase is a steroid and I began to wonder if it was behind my problems. I got online this morning and looked into it only to find that not only can it cause all the symptoms I was suffering, but it could possibly even be making my vertigo worse than it was in the first place. I won't be taking it again.To summarize, not only did it not discernibly help improve my sinus congestion, but it appears to have increased the symptoms for which I was taking it in the first place, along with adding a slew of new problems to worry about. Use with caution and monitor for side effects.
Apparently not a benign drug, to say the least. I have no history of exceptional side effects to anything and I've been all all kinds of psych drugs over 35 years. I would love to hear that this is reversible. Please.
For two weeks (during which I had a particularly nasty illness), I took 50 mg each morning and evening. For the next month, I took 100 mg each morning and evening. At this point, I was experiencing few to no side effects, and no discernible intended effects. After about a month of this, (on January 12th) I was directed to increase the dose to 100 mg each morning and 200 mg each evening, and all hell broke loose. For the last two weeks, I was experiencing a lot of the side effects that I remember from trazodone (grogginess, blurred vision, delayed reaction time, general fatigue), along with an extreme worsening of my depression, including feelings of uselessness and urges to hurt myself.
I am clean now for 22 days, and I was smoking for 22 years! I feel great, my kids was the driven source, they was scared I will die. Sometimes the cravings is there, if I only could have one puff, but it only last for 5min, and the craving is gone. I must say, my skin look healthier, I breath easier, smell fresh at least, and now I can kiss my children on the mouth, without even feeling quilty!So for all my partners in crime, be strong...If you cannot sleep at night, try to reduce the intake of pills for only one a day, that works wonders for me!Now i sleep peacefully, after reducing the pills. There is no side effects after that. Decrease it, iso INCREASE it!!!
