Celebrex?? (Read 1149 times)

kika CH.com Veteran Offline I Love CH.com! Posts: 122	Celebrex?? Jan 13^th, 2009 at 11:39am The shadows have started, so I went to my neuro this am, who is going to try me on 200 mg celebrex twice daily, as well as verapamil as a preventative. Anyone heard of using celebrex with CH's? TIA

Some years ago his class of meds was tried with CH because of their effectiveness with migriane. But they don't work for us.

Now, if he is trying them for shadows??? New on me, but surely not for the primary attack.

Pixie-elf CH.com Hall of Famer Offline I've tried the rest, and busting is the best! Posts: 517 Beaumont,Tx Gender:	Re: Celebrex?? Reply #4 - Jan 14^th, 2009 at 8:21pm I had a pain management doc want to try it on me. My pharmacist refused as I'd reacted to Vioxx and some other COX2 inhibitiors. So I have utterly no idea if it works or not.
Back to top	As far as I'm concerned, cluster busting has been the best treatment I've tried. No migraines since I started it, and my hits have gotten so much better. Wanna know more?
