Many reviewers wrote such horrible side effects, I have had none of them. On my 6th day now. After reading these reviews I was scared to death to take this. After talking to a pharmacist, I felt much better. No side effects at all. My sinus blockage is much better now. Would take again.

I was prescribed this medicine due to flu like symptoms and congestion. On the first day I received the pack at night and took the first 6 tablets as it states to on the pack to do when you first receive it. The entire night I had cold sweats. I sleep in a robe, which I do every night but on this night I was totally drenched with sweat and shivering all night. Through out the night and on to the n...

I have taken the dose pack for 3 days, and I noticed the sleeplessness the first day. But the second night I slept 10 hours making up for it. My knee has been mysteriously swollen and painful for almost two months, and this stuff has it back to almost new in just three days which 800 mg Ibuprofen couldn't do in 8 weeks. Had a lot of heartburn the second day.

I have been taking this by dose pak off and on for several years when I have a mild exacerbation of MS. It is a wonder drug. It makes me feel much better and gets my muscles back proper working order. I also have taken it for my recently diagnosed COPD. This drug is a miracle drug...I'll take any of the side effects any day over the way I felt prior to taking this med.

I am on day 5 of this medication and for the past 3 days I have had a terrible headache. My face is very red and I have been itching very badly. My joint pain is a little better, not much. I don't want to take this again.

I used the tapered dose pack and stopped after the 2nd pill on the 4th day because of acute shortness of breath, stomach & esophagus pain,darker stool & swelling of legs,ankles & feet. On the up side ALL of my osteoarthritis pain was gone from shoulders, both hands & knees plus lower back for 13 days so far. The problem is my history of bleeding ulcers in the esophagus. The benifits are super and the risks for me are serious. Hope this is helpfull

I have eczema on mainly on my hands which makes everyday chores very painful. I took the step down pack three weeks ago and and all my sores where completly healed at the end. But now they're back. I'm wondering if possable side effects are a better option or not. I don't want to take this forever.

The only problem I have had with this drug is I am very red in the face and it feels hot. Other than that I was put on it for Asthma and it has helped my breathing.

I started taking this drug on a Saturday for a bad sinus headache that lasted 2 weeks. The first dose (2 pills) made me feel sick to my stomach but Sunday morning I woke up headache free. I am real red in the face, have a bad taste in my mouth and have a hard time sleeping so I learned to take a Tylenol PM as well to sleep. I guess it's better then a constant sinus headache, right? Overall I am happy with this medication and would take it again if I had to.

Took for Poison Ivy.5th day my face and eyes are itchy watery puffy and swelling can't sleep at night for having to scratch my face to death. In the morning my eye's are swelled shut. Feel tired and keep a headache. However, my poison ivy on my neck and ears is cured but replace with welps of a swollen rash from an allergic reaction to this medicine. I have blurred vision because my eyes are so swollen. Just feel awful. Would rather have the poison ivy!!!!

My pain management doctor wanted me to try this for a flair up of nerve pain. I saw an almost immediate relief of the pain.

I took this for degenerated disk and arthritis in the lumbar region. It has eased most of my pain. I have also taken this for asthma and bronchitis, very effective.

I used all of these pills as the doctor told me. The rash is still there and it is getting worse. It also made my back sore to the touch. Different parts of my back, my jaw, and my shoulders and neck are very tender when touched. And I am still very itchy.
