Has anyone had a side effect with Celebrex that makes u feel more anxious and spasms in your back. I have only been on this med for four days and I can't tolerate what I'm feeling, any suggestions would be helpful

It just might not be the right medication for you.

Most medications have been known to cause the opposite of their intended effects in small percentage of the people that take them.

You might want to check and see what your other options are for treatment.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Thank you for your response, it just so happens that I was taken off Celebrex due to the side affects and am now on Ultram and I feel human again, I appreciate the help and support that you've given me

I have been taking Celebrex for years without any prob. Recently they substituted generic Celecoxib and I feel terrible. Weak, high blood pressure, tired, burning stomach (also on Nexium, brand specific), insomnia, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, headache, sweating all the time. Dr.'s find nothing wrong. The drug store gave me another generic Celecoxib and I quit taking altogether. To my surprise, I'm feeling much better. The generic is worse than the fibro. Hope someone will find this helpful. I do NOT like generics.

I was given Celebrex for fibromyalgia and other arthritic pains years ago. The 1st few days I was better, but then, my pains increased and continued to worsen. Looked at the ingredients only to find Sulfa, which I am allergic to and causes pain in my muscles and joints. Stopped Celebrex immediately.

I was put on Celecoxib (mfg: Apotex co.) after hip surgery and have felt anxious, weak, and nauseous. Waited too long to look on-line for side effects. Going to stop taking it and hope that helps.

Did the spasms in your back cease after d/cing Celebrex? I started having muscle spasms in various areas of my body after starting this med. Don’t know if the two are related. I’ve since d/c the med. Waiting to see if it’s the culprit.
