User Reviews for meloxicam oral

Last week I began a daily dose of 7.5 mg for lower-back/sacroiliac pain. I was not noticing any help with the pain. On the third day, mid-day about an hour after taking the pill with a large protein smoothie and water, I was overcome by extreme dizziness. I quickly ate some nuts and jello and drank lots of water. I grabbed my thermometer and made it to the couch and lay down just in time. My temp was below 96. My pulse (finger to wrist checked) was below 54. I was very cold. I lay there for over two hours, trying to breathe calmly, waiting for the dizziness to pass. It finally did. I will never take Meloxicam again. I have since read that this drug contains sulfa, and I am allergic to sulfa antibiotics and apparently also to ANY med with sulfa in it. That may explain my adverse reaction.Read More Read Less

I use monoxicam for a week & I began to have even more pain in my lower back. This is not for me anymore.

Awful! Raised my blood pressure. Flu like symptoms, intensify my pain. Felt yucky! Chest pain! Then side effects...no way...I will just use the muscle relaxer or cbd! Scary side effects!

I use meloxicam on an as needed basis for osteo-arthritis (acromioclavicular joint) in the shoulder and low-back pain from an old herniated disk injury in L5. I usually take 15 mg for 4-5 days every three weeks or so. Shoulder pain is gone within two days, lower back takes a few days longer. Daily exercise helps a lot!

I have a tear in my calf muscle and was prescribed melxiocam. The side effects from the medication was 10xs worse than the actual injury. Severe abdominal, chest and back pain. I literally could not sleep on my right side or lay down flat because of the pain. Deep breaths and coughing hurt immensely. I would not recommend this medication to anyone.

I have a degenerate cartilage disease and severe hip damage from martial arts it took one day for it to give me the best results I've had in years except first I thought it didn't work and then my pain went away I could not believe it! I'm freaking out! I have major major damage to my body from Muay Thai Krav Maga, hapkido and jujitsu...... Aleve is the only thing that has helped me through barely and now I'm not even taking aleave. I don't know what these other people's problem is chemically but this worked for me with my high threshold of pain at its maximum I felt like I could smile and be happy for a change!

Took Meloxicam for a week. Meloxicam caused severe leg pains from top to bottom. It felt like my legs were on fire. It also caused problems with my sight and hearing. I had fevers, dizziness, rapid heat beat, and blood pressure went up. I built up fluid, had nausea, and tenderness in my stomach. It also caused hot flushes, constipation (which I never have) and my hair started falling out. I have been off Meloxicam for over a week and my legs are still hurting as well as my stomach. Legs are better but still hurt....This medication is very dangerous. Be very careful!Read More Read Less

I have taken mobic for two days. I've had chills, nausea, severe abdominal pains, gas, and uncontrollable diarrhea. I will not take another dose. This stuff will kill a healthy person.

Works great makes life much better

I shouldn't post that I wasn't happy with the effectiveness, or ease of use for this medication - I couldn't take it long enough to determine. This medication made me so ill - stomach pain, severe nausea, cramps - this isn't for me. I'd rather take Ibuprofen and have joint pain than to vomit 24/7. Good luck if taking this medication.

I have torn rotator cuff in both shoulders, arthritis, tendinitis in my ankles and elbows and plantar fasciitis in my right foot. This takes it all away for 24 hours at a time. What a relief, to be able to pain-free even if it's 24 hours. I sleep better and I'm more active. I have not had any side effects but I do not take it daily, I take it when it's to the point of unbearable.

I have a meniscal tear and rheumatoid arthritis. I was first given Celebrex which worked wonders but then it made me feel sick after about a week. I was then prescribed Meloxicam which I was I was already hesitant to try. On the 2nd day, I had severe abdominal pain and got so dizzy I thought I was about to pass out.

I have nerve damage in my legs and feet, and also shoulder pain. This drug has done wonders for me.

This is working great for both my shoulder joints and my calf muscles! I am 64 years old, couldn't mark it on the info place.

This is a dangerous drug with side effects of heart attack and stroke. It didn't work any better than aspirin for osteoarthritis in my knee. It caused stomach upset, nausea and headaches.

Prescribed for osteoarthritis in knee for pain and stiffness. It didn't help the symptoms. It made me feel nauseated and headaches, The side effects include heart attack and stroke! No thanks, I'll stick with aspirin and icing.

This medicine caused stomach bleeding to the point where my mom needed a hospital stay and multiple blood transfusions to recover. And it didn’t even help her arthritis pain all that much to start.

Besides having a multiple serious problems with my neck and back, I was prescribed Meloxicam for bone pain and complete loss of cartilage (knee osteoarthritis) in my right knee. Most of the time I cannot walk or move my leg. Sleeping more than 20 minutes at a time was a thing of the past. The pain in all my bones was overwhelming,. Sometimes I would just lie there and cry. Meloxicam took away about 90% of my pain everywhere and I was elated. However, it only lasts a week and then I was at about15% pain relief. I ran out and didn't take them for a week and they started working again when I picked up my prescription , for about a week. I didn't realize there were so many side effects, so I will start checking my blood pressure.Read More Read Less

I take 15 mg occasionally for back and hip pain plus sciatica, mostly to help me sleep. Meloxicam is significantly more effective than either ibuprofen or Aleve and I don’t have any side effects but I limit my usage to limit the risk of having side effects.

Diagnosed with Inflammatory arthritis at 40. Started on celebrex until I developed allergy to it, then switched to meloxicam. Without it I can barely move. On it, I can live a pretty much normal life. (Surf, exercise, SUP, bike) I take 15mg daily but have now started taking it every other day as it’s built up in my system. I’ve been on it for just over 1 year. I have no side effects. Stomach is fine. I check my blood pressure regularly and it’s been great, probably as my diet has also taken an approach to less inflammatory/healthier foods. I absolutely love this medicine, it’s been a godsend and it’s cheap.Read More Read Less
