Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Hi Lori, Am still having good results with 25mg of Vioxx daily. Just went in for a review with the doc, and he renewed my prescription. Not all the inflammation is gone. I take it in the morning, first thing. I agree it is expensive. I don't have prescription coverage, so I am footing the bill, ok though, as all that is tax deductible. I am wondering if you could cut them in 1/2, at least you would get a dose every day? But don't take my advice on this, ask your doc. Also ask him/her for samples. They have tons. Might help. I have not felt a tolerance to it at all, except I feel great, and it is my M.O. that if I feel great I want more of what is making me feel great. LOL I asked the Dr. about more and he said NO! He said, time, vioxx, rest, heat are the best combination, so that's what I am doing. I first noticed how much better I felt with my back on day 8 of Vioxx. By day 12 I was sure it was helping. When you start taking regular strength doses, give it some time to work - 8-12 days. That's when I noticed a difference. I have only been taking Vioxx about 7 weeks now, so that's not a very long extended period of time. I hope this helps you somewhat. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
