How long does it take for Mobic to take effect? - Page 3

Mobic is really bothering my stomach already, darn it. Do any of you take antacids or H2 blockers with it? Pepcid isn't really helping. I've taken some peppermint pills to relieve the gas and eaten some ginger slices for nausea and upset stomach. I wish I didn't need to take any NSAIDS. It's too bad that Tylenol doesn't relieve my pain.

I have been taking Mobic for a year now and it works great for me. However, I'm starting to worry about long term effects. Any thoughts? Thanks DDES

I took mobic for a couple weeks. It only took the edge off the pain of my knees. I have to be careful taking any type of NSAIDs since I am prone to gastritis.; so I also take Aciphex to protect my stomach. When the pain gets real bad in my knees I take to Ultrams (tramadol) before I go to bed and that helps me get to sleep. I usually will not have pain in the morning.

My advice is to take mobic only as long as you need to for pain. You should take it with a proton pump inhibitor (aciphex, nexium, prevacid or prilosec). Pepcid doesn't really work.

I've been taking Mobic with Prilosec OTC and I still have an upset stomach from the Mobic. I think I'll just stick with Advil and Acupuncture.
