It Did What?
It Did What?
Facts are great, we can't make an
educated decision without them. But sometimes we need more than the
facts. We need to hear from others with arthritis about their
experiences.
One of the questions on last week's
survey was:
Have you ever stopped a NSAID due to side effects? Which one and which
side effects?
And you said:
"Vioxx--Caused stomach pain and
nausea."
"feldene, stopped due to possible
link with stomach pain"
"Naprosyn-upset stomach, Voltaren-stomach
pains, Indomethacin-depression, headaches, muscle pains"
"indocid-headaches"
"Yes, Celebrex. I had an allergic
reaction, major itching."
"Yep, I've flunked alot of them-
ibuprofen, naproxen (alieve), relafen, lodine, and lots of others I
cant' remember. With all of those of I tolerate them for about a month
and then had pretty constant heartburn and stomach pain"
"Yes, voltran, naproxen,
ketaprofen. They all gave me stomach problems. In retrospect, I think
the problem may have been that they had lactose as a filler and I am
lactose-intolerant. We recently discovered that this was the source of
the stomach cramps I got from Ultram."
"Yes. I have developed many
allergies to different drugs over the last 15 years"
"Yes, I had substantial rectal
bleeding while taking first Naproxin, and then Vioxx."
"Celebrex made me nauseated"
"Naprosyn due to drug induced
pseudoporphyria, also known as atrophia maculosa varioliformis cutis or
anetoderma. All NSAID's can cause phtotoxic reactions and skin
fragility, but the incidence is highest with Naprosyn."
"Relafen--stomach pain
Sulindac--stomach pain
Celebrex--rash/high blood pressure
Vioxx--stomach pain/bloating"
"I seem to be able to tolerate
NSAIDs very well so far. I used to take Naprosyn for tendinitis, and I
could pop them on an empty stomach. I don't have any gastrointestinal
problems with the Celebrex, although I know that can change, so I try to
be aware of how my tummy feels."
"Celebrex - broke out in a
rash"
"Yes Voltaren (diclofenac) because
it mede me too tired and sleepy."
"stopped taking Naprosyn because
it caused stomach aches so bad."
"Lodine...stomach intolerance
Disalcid...Didn't control the swelling
I do not remember the others I had at the beginning that didn't
work"
"Yes, Celebrex. Developed allergy
to sulfa drugs. Had a skin rash which cleared up when drug was
stopped."
"voltaren - elevated liver enzymes
feldene - diarrhoea"
"Dayproe - hives
COX-2(the other one besides celebrex- I forget it's name!) - severe
water retention
Naprosyn, clinoril, celebrex - didn't work"
"Relafen and Arthrotec. These two
drugs upset my stomach."
"almost all of them: Naprosyn,
Ansaid, Feldene,the list goes on....I've tried so many I've forgotten
all their names. They have all given me stomach problems or just not
worked at all."
"Yes. I think I've tried them all!
They all give me bad stomach aches. I've even tried the newest ones,
Arthrotec, Mobic, Viox, & Celebrex, that are supposed to not hurt
your stomach, but they killed mine!"
