I stopped taking me meloxicam for 2 weeks and the pain became intolerable, so I just started back on it last night. Can I take another pill this morning at 10:00 am? ## Hello, Peggy! How are you?

I took meloxicam for some joint and back pain. I took a 15mg pill yesterday and it really helped with the pain. I also have been dealing with some anxiety but haven't had an attack in a while til last night. I also felt at a point at work like the building I was working in was moving which may have been a dizzy spell. I guess in just wondering if the meloxicam has ever caused anyone to have an anxiety attack or to become dizzy? ## Hello, Matt! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems you had. Yes, both of those symptoms are possible side effects of taking Meloxicam, you may also experience nausea, increased risk of bleeding and headache.

I am taking this for extreme pain in my shoulder & arm. How long does it take for this to take affect? Will I have to keep taking it to be able to work? My right arm is still not as good as my left arm. I've only taken one 15mg pill however. ## Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so while it can ease pain and swelling, it might not relieve all of it, when you're suffering from severe pain. It is not going to act like and be as effective as a narcotic analgesic. And yes, all medications only last for a certain period of time in your body, so you should follow your doctor's instructions for its use. Its side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Will meloxicam help restless leg syndrome. ## Hello, Robin! How are you? No, it most likely will not. The FDA classifies Meloxicam as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, increased risk of bleeding and headache. Did your doctor prescribe it for that? ## I take 200 mg tramadol a day for four years now I am trying to taper off I have stopped before then started back because the depression I experienced for months after I had stopped but the last time I stopped I quit cold turkey and it was horrible with rls. will tapering off be easier and will I still experience the depression after?

I'm taking meloxicam 7.5 mg and I have no refills. I'm having problems with night pain and wanted to take Aleve PM. I took the last Meloxicam about 12 hours ago. Could I take Aleve PM or do I need to wait for the Meloxicam to leave my system completely? ## Hello, Liz! How are you? They are both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, so unless your doctor instructs otherwise, you can usually just switch smoothly from one to the other. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. With the added ingredient in the Aleve PM, you may also experience dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I take 15 mg of meloxicam daily for degenerative arthritis. I also have been prescribed 20 mg of prednisone for gout. Can I take the prednisone now if I took my meloxicM 4-1/2 hrs ago? ## Hello, Kanakagurl! How are you? Actually, these medications tend to increase the toxicity of each other and increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulceration.
