Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Good evening, Has anyone here been on Voltaren for a while and suffered any anxiety? It is one of the side effects. I have been taking it for about 6 weeks and suddenly have been overcome with anxiousness. I resumed the Lexapro I had been taking until about 2 months ago, but it hasn't helped. I'd love to hear from others about this. Thanks and I hope everyone has a wonderful, peaceful Thanksgiving. Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 There seems to be something in it that causes the lining of the large colon to ooze fresh blood cells in some people. It can also cause stomach problems in some folks. Some lucky souls get both. It's good that your nexium-like stuff helps, it should help protect your stomach so that you can keep getting the good effects from the voltaren. I miss my voltaren enormously. We tried nine different meds before we found one that worked, the voltaren, and now I can't take that one, either. Remember 's Law?

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I did. But then it started bothering my stomach. So now I take a lower dose that helps somewhat and take protonix with it.

I heard from one person who just started using it about 2 weeks ago and she says it has worked wonders for her. I've been on MTX and Prednisone for about a year now and I feel about the same as I did a year ago. I'm going to ask my Rheumy about it on my next visit. I hope to hear from you guys. TTFN........
