Does anyone have anything positive to say about the prescription drug Celebrex? My dr. just put me on it, but I've only been taking it for 4 days (200mg. twice a day)so I really don't feel any better yet. How long should I give it to kick in?

At this point, they're not sure exactly what's causing my back pain (going for x-rays and MRI) later this month, and for physical therapy)

Any feedback will be appreciated.Thanks,Robin

My experience with Celebrex is that it helps with stiffness, but does nothing for pain. If I don't take it for a couple of days, I get so stiff I can hardly move. Hope it works for you.

Hi. I have been taking Celebrex since it first came out. I don't know how it is without it.,..I haven't ever stopped taking it. I do not have the pain I once had and am sleeping good at night. That's when my arthritis bothered me the most. I have some bone spurs on my spine, along with the arthritis, and it certainly seems to help. Good luck to ya!

I'm on 200mg, once a day, plus 1 tab,twice a day of lortab 7.5/500 for my pain. I can't tell what works or doesn't, sorry!
