Glad I read this discussion! I have taken Mobic only twice and the 2nd time I litterally thought I was dying. My heart was pounding so hard and fast I could feel it pulsing strongly on both sides of my neck and in my wrists. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. NEVER AGAIN WILL I TAKE MOBIC! Afterwards I looked up the side effects and then read the user reviews and was scared by all the people who had heart attacks after starting it, even people as young as in their 30's! It has been 2mths since I took it and my heart rate now stays high and beats irregularly. My BP is running higher than normal for me as well. I have chest pains often now. It works for some but not to all. It certainly isn't a one size fits all drug. I informed my doctor at my followed up about Mobic's side effects and she said that I was the 3rd person in 2 weeks that said the same thing as myself.
I have Fibro, Narcolepsy, Chronic Lyme Disease, possible Lupus/RA..awaiting labs to see what doc thinks. Osteoarthritis so severe that the Pain Mgt doc I was referred was floored at its severity with me being only 38. Chronic daily headaches and awaiting MRI results of my neck/shoulders/spine as he thinks it is a pinched nerve or Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I dont get how I have so many health problems at my age. The most recent is my platelet count has dropped and I am bruising easily as well as bleeding horribly even from a small cut. My legs look horrible due to the hemmoraging under the skin called Petechial Rash. I feel so damn old! I have a husband and 5 kids ranging from 20 to 2 and one is special needs and requires much interventions (tracheostomy/tube fed). I have to push myself daily to get through. I too have been losing tons of hair since taking Mobic. I am going to the FDA website to log my side effects so others are aware and the FDA can monitor.

About a week ago, I reduced my dosage to 7.5 MG of Mobic. I am still trying to find out what is causing the hair loss. I am waiting to see a dermatologist now. I would love to quit taking it completely, but I need to find a drug to replace it because of the severe pain and limited mobility I experience when I don't take it.

why do coctors give people addictive pills? there are better medication available, which do not cause people to become addicted to narcotics.

I have been taking Mobic for fibro for about 2 months now. It makes me feel great, but I have been sweating buckets and have finally figured out it is the Mobic. Has anyone else ever heard of this? It is so bad I have to change clothes 3-4 times a day, and it drips out of my hair. I hate to stop the Mobic because it works, but some of your posts now have me a little worried.

I come from a family of VERY THICK HAIR. Started taking Mobic in Jan 2011. I gradually started losing hair but did not "connect the dots" until the hair loss became so obvious. Today I STOP taking it and will live with the pain.

in answer to my question about Mobic and hair loss I will tell you all that I took another nsaid about three years ago and also had lots of hair loss.sorry forgot the name. my dr. just started me on Mobic 3 weeks. ago and 3 days ago began having lots of hair falling out. I had thought maybe a different brand wouldn't cause this but I was wrong.Hair is coming out by the hands full. On the good side in about 1 year after the first drug was stopped my hair was back thicker than before.the med helps the pain but I would rather have hair. all your answers helped me I hope this gives all of you some hope for your hair .needless to say I won"t take any more of these drugs thanks sandy

I have been taking Mobic since February and noticed inthe last 2 weeks that after washing my hair and brushing I am losing hair like crazy.it use to be so thick. I also started taking calcium as I read online it helps with arthritis.It really help a pinched nerve which was unbearable in my neck and shoulder..Is there another anti immflammatory drug that does not cause hair loss.I feel like I am going to wake up bald........

Yes i have had tremendous hair loss since taking Mobic and was also told it was stress. I only take it when necessary until i go back to my Dr and get something else for my arthritis. I also feel heaviness in my chest of think this med sucks. I read that many women have had hair loss from Mobic so now I'm sure it's from that.

I've been taking Mobic/Meloxicam 7.5 mg 1xdaily for two weeks. Into the 2nd week, I started having headaches and find myself crying for no reason. I'm an upbeat person but this medication is changing who I am. The headaches are really bad in the morning and at night. Has anyone else experienced this with Mobic? I'm also taking Neurontin 300mg 2xdaily, and it's causing my vision to be blurred. This is very alarming, as it limits my mobility/driving. I've been out of work for 19 months due to a car accident. The docs have yet to prescribe melds that'll relieve my pain, moreover that have no serious side effects. I go back to docs tomorrow, and wonder what they'll prescribe this time. I've never been one to take pills, to include over the counter asprin, so it doesn't surprise me, my body doesn't agree with pharmaceutical drugs. What does help is herbs and I'll be happy when medical marijuana is passed, otherwise I'm a lost cause.

Just stopped movie after only a week but can't stop peeing, more times than usual during the day and night. Wondering if this is from the mobic or not. Can't take it because I have a slow bleed with anemia. Not a good idea. Sucks because it helped with my pain.

I was on mobic. It worked pretty good. Had a rash and itching. I believe was a side effect. Very red hot then itchy. Mostly under my breasts. Used corn starch which helped some. No hair loss. I got off mobic and the rash went away. I think it has to do with it being anti inflammatory. Now celebrex, 200 1x p/d, hydrochloride I 10 /325 2x p/d. Still get symptoms but much milder & not as often. I think possibly from other drugs. Any information related to this?

I too started taking Meloxicam/Mobic in late January 2016. It really helped with my arthritis pain. About a month ago I started noticing hair loss on the side of my head. I went to my family doctor and he said I had Alopecia. Went to see a dermatologist a week later and got steroid injections and steroid lotion to apply in my scalp. Oh, by the way my thyroid is normal, but my hair loss continues. I'm 61 and have NEVER had hair loss problems. A week later, the hair continued to fall out and got even worst than before my wife (a nurse) read the this medication could cause hair loss. I stopped talking the medication today and hope that this might help with my problem. The only problem is it might take weeks for the drug to get out of my system and by that time I will probably have no hair left.

My ortho NP switched me to Mobic from Celebrex and I haven't really noticed a big improvement in my arthritis knee pain after arthroscopy. What I have noticed is massive hair shedding. This happened once before to me with a cox 2 inhibitor that has since been taken off the market. Think I'll go back to the Celebrex!

Did you go off of the Meloxicam? If so, did your hair stop falling out? I have been on it for a year and just in the past 3 weeks I have lost half of my hair. Worried. Not taking anymore.
