MAKES ME TIRED

I HAVE TRIED OVER THE COUNTER PAIN MEDS.THAT DID VERY LITTLE FOR ME.MY DR. PRESCIRBED SALSALATE & IT HAS WORKED GREAT FOR ME.DID NOT HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS FROM USING THIS.IT HAS INCREASED MY MOBILITY. WILL COUNTINUE USING.

Feb. 9, 2011 I have Fibromyalgia and have been on 750 mg once a day (along with Prozac 10mg) for 5 years. Three weeks ago I began experiencing ringing in both ears. Since this was a new symptom I had my ears checked for wax build up and then washed. However the ringing is still present in the left ear. I am extremely in tune with my body and am in good shape. But after reading up on the side effects on Salsalate, and the included "postings" from others, I feel that this medication might be the culprit. I see an ENT specialist today and will repost those results. I too have noticed that Tylenol and regualr caffeine free Asprin work just as well, however, I am concerned about the long term side affects of those over the counter pills as well. Any advice?Read More Read Less

I think a baby aspirin would offer more pain relief than this does. Just doesn't work for me. Went to Ibuprofen.

But now I am having stomach pain and excess gas, loss of vision and the Dr.s think this may be one of the culprits.

I have taken it for a couple of months for arthritis pain in my neck and back. Initial results were very quick. Pain eased and mobility increased right away. Since then, it has continued working, but slowly and gradually. Overall, the medication is clearly working. My biggest problem is that it is not covered by my insurance. It has not been a big deal, as it has only been $12.00 per month. However, when I went for my last refill, it is suddenly $48.93 for a month's worth. Pharmacy claims that the manufacturer raised the price. I am asking my doctor for an alternate.Read More Read Less

Loss of balance and fell, could not get up.

I have taken a lot of different medications in my life and never experienced any side effects until my doctor chose to try this medication.I started out taking 2000 mg a day and developed anxiety problems migranes, stomach disorders and sleep problems. I kept taking the medicine trying to overcome the effects instead they increased. It did absolutely nothing for the pain that I was suffering from. This medication was a bad experience and never produced not one positive result.

this med is only good for lower levels of pain..as good as asprin....i wouldnt give this med to my dog if he was in pain...really

The VA will only give you this drug, Excedrin is ten times better, but you have to buy your own.

I can not tell any difference in joint pain

Took 1500 mg am & pm for 6 weeks -- little relief from the pain in my hands. Better than nothing, but acetaminophen works better for me.

I've been taking 500mg twice daily for 2 months and my hands are more sore and more swollen than before.

cuts the edge of cronic back pain. some swelling of fingers and face due to water retintion

I my primary diagnosis is fibromyalgia, and this medication helps me to keep the discomfort under control. It is the best I have found since they took Vioxx off the market.

not good

i have been on this medication for about a month now and i was wondering if anyone else has had any of the side affects i have. i have been having pain in my back and i have gained 10 lbs. i know it doesn't seem like a lot but for me it is. i had my son last year so i worked hard to get the weight off, i've done nothing different except take this med. please help.

I have only been on this for a week, aspirin does better in relieving the pain
