Indomethacin (Indochron E-R, Indocin) Forum Forum - New indomethacin prescription

[Guest]

I have joint pain that my Dr. prescribed Indomethacin 50mg 3 times a day for. It makes me tense and shakey with a background headache and doesn't seem to do a very good job at fixing the pain. Is this a normal reaction? I've only been taking it for 4 or 5 days so far. Any info would be appreciated.<BR>Thanks. <BR><BR>--------------------<BR>Hayden<BR>

I just recently began using Indomethacin 25mg,1-2 caps up to 3x daily for knee pain and swelling. It seems to work. The pain is tolerable now, and the swelling has diminished (depending on how active I am), but it does make me drowsy. Does anyone know if it's habit forming? Does it contain codeine?<BR>Peace to all.<BR><BR>--------------------<BR>milt-n-chgo<BR>

I have been on it for several days . The second day I took it I felt loopy and a little disoriented. I also suffered from a headache. As far as the tenderness and shortness of breath in my chest , that has diminished.<BR><BR>--------------------<BR>Gabriel<BR>
