Celecoxib for Period Pain Reviews
Celebrex (celecoxib) "I have extremely painful periods. I'm talking pain so bad I cry and want to go to the ER. I was given this to help with arthritis. And just happened to start the same day. Well, I took one, and they are doable. Now I'm not doubled over crying. Don't get me wrong, it still hurts, but not nearly as bad."
Celebrex (celecoxib) "Celebrex literally lessens my period flow and pain. After only 1 hour of intake, my flow just kind of stopped. I feel so much better. I've been suffering from prolonged bleeding but due for diagnostics soon. I'm taking the lowest dose."
Celebrex (celecoxib) "Suffered blackouts, concussions, and period/ovulation pain that lasted 97% of every month with not even one doctor offering any help aside from the usual "let's put you on birth control" or "Ibuprophen always helps!" (as if...). Finally, I got sick and tired of no one taking me seriously, did my research to find a more unique solution, after tons of searching I found out about Celebrex which could be used for period pain. Finally some relief! It was the only thing that helped some! Eventually, I had surgery to remove an ovary and had an ablation, but while I had those never-ending periods, Celebrex helped so much, I cannot recommend it enough! I had zero side effects, but I have a HIGH tolerance for prescriptions, so I can't speak for anyone else's experience, my sister had a BAD reaction, so everyone's body is different. Talk to your dr, it could help when nothing else does!!"
"I have tried just about every drug on the market for my cramps and after a while they all just stop working. I took Bextra and Vioxx which are similar before they were taken off the market. I take it a day before my period starts and usually only a few days into the week and finally I'm not missing out on life or work anymore. I do get blood tests to check for any abnormalities, but after 3 years there are none so far. I take the brand name, simply because the manufacturer co-pay makes it $4 a month, which is less than my $7 month co-pay with my insurance. Both my parents take this for their arthritis now and my 26 year old sister just started this for her cramps. I'm constantly telling everyone how much I love Celebrex."
